"Know that it is a work that I do with a lot of love, because it is not only a decoration--in it there are many years of experience and part of a family legacy."

“My name is José Victor, but I really like being called “Chito”. I am originally from La Antigua Guatemala, and I am... dedicated to making decorations for the home.

“It is a pleasure to be able to introduce myself to you, and to be able to tell you a little about my life. I grew up in this wonderful city, together with my great family. We are 9 siblings. My parents taught us from a very young age to fight for our dreams and work honestly. They were dedicated to making jeans. All the children learned with them; each of us had our own machine, and we could make pants, skirts, jackets and vests. It was a very enriching part of our lives, since we worked as a family.

“Due to the economic situation, I stopped studying when I was 15 years old and began to work as a helper at a van company. It was a very hard job for a child of that age, but I knew it was to help my family and that is why I dedicated myself to keep my job and demonstrate my responsibility. "Unfortunately, at 42 years of age my father became ill. His situation was very complicated because he suffered from heart disease; he died when I was barely 17 years old. The death of my father was something that marked my life completely. At that age I needed someone to guide me, teach me even more things, and be my support; but I had to learn to get ahead. Since his death, each of the children took their own way and became independent. Not everything was rosy; I had to go days without eating because I couldn't get a job. What little work I did get was temporary; they couldn't assure me of something fixed because I was still very young.

“When I was 20 years old, I began to work as a security guard in a jade store in La Antigua Guatemala that was led by foreigners. They had a lot of confidence in me, and I in them. In our daily talks, I related my anecdotes as a child and everything that my parents taught me. At that moment they gave me the idea of being able to make bird decorations. I did not know how to start making them, but little by little I made a sample. It surprised me because it was very beautiful. I started to sell them, and since then everything went very well.

“I met my wife and today we form a beautiful family with three children. This alternate job helped me to be able to support my children financially so that they could finish their studies as I could not. Today it fills me with much satisfaction to say that they are professionals. I love being part of their life, as they are part of mine. Despite the fact that each one is already independent, I always offer my support because it is what I dreamed of having with my father.

“The elaboration of these pieces has marked me a lot. Today I am 38 years in this world, which has given me thousands of opportunities. I thank God very much because he never left me alone; despite the bad times, he always lifted me up and put me in front of people who have supported my art, like you who are buying my pieces. Know that it is a work that I do with a lot of love, because it is not only a decoration--in it there are many years of experience and part of a family legacy. I hope you like them and can have an authentic Guatemalan product in your ho

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.
