"For me, knitting is a limitless dance."

"I was born in the city of Lima, where we five children and our parents lived in the cultural and bohemian district of... Barranco. My father was a civilian working for the Peruvian army and my mother worked in a fashion design house. After high school, I studied to be a bilingual secretary but I wasn't able to complete my degree because money was tight.

"As far as knitting and crochet work, I consider myself self taught. When I was six, my mother gave me my first set of knitting needles and a ball of yarn. She began teaching me to knit and, when she didn't have time, a neighbor taught me new stitches and patterns. This is how I began, but I never imagined this art would be such an important part of my life. When I was 17, I was able to make a dress for my sister from a design I saw in a magazine.

"I was an inquisitive person and I liked to read books on needlework and take courses. I went to work in a bank as a sales executive but spent most of my free time knitting and crocheting for my family. I believe that when God blesses you with an ability, it becomes a part of your day to day life.

"Years ago, I offered to knit a sweater for my nephew's first communion only two days later. I worked day and night! Fortunately, I was able to finish it but I was just too tired to attend the event.

"Today, I'm married and have children of my own. I still knit and crochet whenever I can. Although I never dreamed of selling my work, it has been a real blessing because in 2011, I had an accident and had to quit my job. That's when I decided to work from home and began working in jute. It's perfect for crafting handbags, jewelry cases and more in delightful colors. Little by little, I began exhibiting my work in fairs, until I met Novica.

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!
