Teo Hernandez

"I also enjoy designing new products: it's like the ideas fly from my mind and find a new home in the wood."

"I'm a serious, hardworking and responsible man born in Antigua in 1975. I recently got married and I can't wait to have... children. I love to go for long walks, read, and play soccer so, as you can see, I'm just like any other man.

"I lead a workshop that specializes in Guatemalan handicrafts, but the story of how I got to do this is not what you'd expect…

"In 1995, my father was called to build this workshop, and I tagged along as a bricklayer's assistant working alongside family members. I loved the kind of work they were doing at the workshop and realized I wanted to work in wood carving rather than in construction. The workshop owner taught me all the basics and, with time and a lot of patience, I've developed my style and carve high-quality pieces. I feel very proud of what I have achieved considering I never had any formal training. Now not only am I designing, but I work with a team of talented woodcarvers and our main medium is teakwood.

"What I enjoy the most about the process is carving the wood – it's a good challenge to ensure it's always carved the same way to ensure high-quality work that will satisfy shoppers. I also enjoy designing new products — it's like the ideas fly from my mind and find a new home in the wood.

"I had polio when I was a boy, and it is truly a miracle that the good Lord healed me because I was about to lose my left leg, so this is the thing I am most grateful for in life.

"We are six children and most are dedicated to either construction or farming, as dad taught us. But I prefer to work in arts and crafts, though I do enjoy working in the fields depending on the time of the year.

"I love what I do, I have acquired considerable experience and it's rewarding to see people appreciate my work. We work with sustainable woods and everything we do is entirely done by hand. It is our way of preserving the environment.

"I think you offer a great opportunity to artisans like us because you help us reach people in different parts of the world and show them what we are capable of making, and our way of life. Every one of you can be sure that what you're holding in your hand is entirely crafted by hand with a lot of care and dedication. I would like to express my thanks to all of you for welcoming our culture and I hope that, through my story, you get a little idea of what life in Guatemala is like."

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.

WIN # 3 Artisans Profit!
