"I'm a Salvadoran artisan with a strong desire to change people's vision of handicrafts...This is why my designs are totally innovative."

"I majored in business administration and am also a computer repair technician. During my career, I had to set up a small business. This was my first incursion into the world of leatherwork although I had always liked it. I have relatives who work in leather, with more than 50 years of experience in the field although, sadly, their workshop had to close. Even so, I remained interested in the leather arts.

"One day while walking through the city, I saw a handbag in a shop window and fell in love with it. It cost far too much for my budget so I decided to look for materials and make one for myself. I went right to work and gave it my best effort, and the results were so impressive I showed it off to everyone. It was beautiful and I felt so proud! One of my mom's friends saw it and loved it. Right away, she asked me to make three dozen handbags.

"I was excited and began working to fill the order. I had one small old machine and worked there day and night. When I finished, my client was very happy with my work and I couldn't wait to start something new.

"My mother urged me to invest in newer equipment. So what began as an adventure is now a solid project and I'm proud of my workshop.

"I'm a Salvadoran artisan with a strong desire to change people's vision of handicrafts. They think handcrafted means rustic, but that's not so. This is why my designs are totally innovative, made with eco-friendly materials, yet are functional and durable.

"I feel very fortunate to work with you and that you recognize my efforts over the years. Knowing that my handbags can reach many other parts of the world is a great source of motivation. I thank you shoppers with all my heart for being a part of my dream."

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. 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.
