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 strip with the Andean motifs has been handmade by women in a rural community in the Peruvian Andes. We pay them a fair wage and help the ones that want to set up their own local businesses. We also dedicate part of the profits to undertake development projects chosen by the women in the communities.

The trousers were tailored in a small family-run factory in Lima. We only work with small factories that respect workers' rights and treat them with the love and respect they deserve.

The handmade motifs

Each motif tells a story and represents aspects of life in the community.

This motif is called Loraypo, and it's the traditional motif that represents the Chinchero region where our weavers live. It's called after a medicinal plant that grows in the mountains and it's used to treat inflammation. The zig-zag represents the Inca trails that lead to the Sacred Valley. The small circles represent the two lakes of the region (Lake Piuray and Lake Huaipo). The S shape represents the tool they use to work the land. Next to it, you can find little eyes, which represent the bulls they breed. The triangles above the S shape motif (called cuty) represent the mountains where they live and work.

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.
