Ethical Fabric Sourcing in Peru

Hello,

I'm at the beginnings of starting my own label here in Australia. Trying to source the amazing naturally coloured cotton fabric (Pima??) from Peru but having no luck so far. I might just have to take a trip to Peru (would love to meet the people who create the fabric anyway) but in reality once I got to Peru, I would have no idea what to do or where to go (utterly clueless).. Does anyone have any advice or leads in this area? :)

Thanks in advance!!

I am also interested in the ethical sourcing of hair for hair pieces and wigs
