Wilfredo Rios

"My art is my life. Even though people tell me that at this age I should retire, I want to continue. My art is my profession and I cannot abandon it."

"I was born in 1936 in the province of Ollón. I don't remember my mother, only my father," Wilfredo Rios says. "I was... raised by my grandmother. We were poor but I was able to finish primary school. But from the time I was a boy, I assumed the responsibility to get ahead in life. When I was 13, I went to work for a neighbor who crafted saddles and worked for him for about two years.

"In 1954, I went to Lima in search of a better life. I didn't know anyone there. I stayed in a hostel while I looked for work, and the very next week I found work in a hotel. One day I saw an ad in the newspaper for a specialist who knew how to sew hemp by hand. I applied for the job and they had me do a sample. I did the best I could, and the owner of the workshop was impressed. I was hired immediately.

"The workshop crafted leather furniture and I learned new techniques. After a month, I took the place of the master craftsman, whose health forced him to retire. Four years later, I joined the army to fulfill my military service requirements.

"Two years later, I returned from the jungle and visited my grandmother. I was able to help her a little and was fortunate enough to find work in different workshops that needed my skills. Then I returned to Lima to work as an artisan once more.

"I worked for several years getting paid by the piece. Eventually the workshop owner had to close down the business due to family problems and I moved to another workshop that created pieces exclusively for the American market. There I learned to create folding chairs and furniture. One day I offered chairs to a hotel. The administrator was amazed and ordered six, but I couldn't accept the order because I didn't have the money for materials. However, he helped me and encouraged me to open my own workshop. I did, and worked from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. to be able to pay off the loans and get ahead. Eventually I sold my designs to shipping lines and mining companies, and was even able to export them to the U.S., Holland and Sweden.

"During that period, I got married and had four children.

"In 1985, I had differences with the landlord, who wanted to raise the rent too much. This led to legal problems. By then, I had bought a 5,000 square meter lot in Puente Piedra. I was forced to sell off 3,000 meters. After that, our currency suffered a devaluation and I lost almost everything. I had to move the workshop to the property I had left in Puente Piedra but I lost clients due to the distance.

"With time, things got better. I opened a shop in Miraflores, which my wife ran. Sadly, it did not prosper.

"One day, a friend visited me and invited me to join Novica, and we did, as the Rios Family. Our family has grown and my sons have introduced new techniques. I'm very proud of them and decided to leave the business to them. However I've gone back to the traditional handmade techniques I learned at the beginning. I create the designs that once took us out of extreme poverty and opened a new path for us in this world, and will be working under my own name.

"My art is my life. Even though people tell me that at this age I should retire, I want to continue. My art is my profession and I cannot abandon it. I enjoy bringing quality and love to my designs."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

Triple 'Win' Pricing

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.
