Details
Ethically made
We follow the World Fair Trade Organisation's guidelines to ensure our practices are fair and improve the lives of those who work with us.
The strips with the Andean motifs have been handmade by men in prison in Peru. We pay them a fair wage and help the ones that want to set up their own local businesses.
The jacket was made by another fashion brand and discarded (ready to go to landfill) before even reaching the shop floor. We bought it and gave it a chance of life.
Materials
The shell is made of 100% cotton and the lining of 100% polyester.
The motifs have been made using a blend of alpaca and sheep wool, so they are soft to the touch.
The handmade motifs
Each motif tells a story and represents aspects of life in the community.
The motif on this jacket is called Hakaku in Quechua and represents a tool they use to cut the grass to feed the animals. Because of its shape, it's also commonly known as the claws of the puma, one of the three sacred animals for the Incas.
Please note that each woman may weave the motifs slightly differently so the ones in your clothes might not look exactly the same as the ones in the picture. This makes every piece unique and special.
