Meet the Artist

Artfully crafted by Patricia Siguas from Andes.

 

Meet the Artist

Patricia Siguas

"My inspiration comes from Peruvian cultures, our colors and textures."

"My name is Patricia Siguas Campos and I was born in Lima in 1972. I consider myself a creative and responsible person....

"I've always liked fashion and loved to browse through magazines to find apparel and accessories I liked. But then I'd imagine them with a Peruvian touch and with the lively colors of our handwoven textiles and natural dyes. I just couldn't stop thinking about all the things I'd like to create.

"I became involved when I worked in a shop selling handcrafted arts and crafts. I was in charge of finding artisans who were willing to modify a design or add some new and trendy detail to their work. As time went by, I was able to travel to Piura, Cajamarca, Cusco, Huacho and Chincha to meet with artisans. Then, I experienced an epiphany. I realized I could use what I'd seen in my travels to create the images in my own mind.

"I had to work very hard. First, I took courses on crafting handbags. As part of a class on quality control, I had to create a handbag, present it to my classmates and defend my design ideas.

"My inspiration comes from Peruvian cultures, our colors and textures. Working with my hands awakens my creative side. It's a wonderful and fulfilling experience. It is so exciting to think that one of my accessories will be used by a modern woman somewhere in the world who is looking for something unique and different.

"When I'm crafting my silk belts, I experiment with different kinds of knots, color combinations and textures. I've worked with Nestor, my right hand and colleague, since 2001. He weaves the fabric for the handbags and tints them with natural dyes. The silk cords we use are those used in upholstery.

"I believe life is full of challenges, but I've always managed to get back up, overcome them and find the strength to keep following my dreams. I want my designs to be seen in fashion shows around the world.

"I'm grateful that Novica has given me the opportunity to offer my designs to the world. It's wonderful to be a part of this worldwide family of artisans."

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.

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.

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.
