"I decided to work from home and make things I could sell. It was tough but I was determined and, with only 50 soles, I bought yarn to create samples."

"Learning to knit was an incredible experience. I felt more active than ever. I had never enjoyed anything so much! "I'm... "Learning to knit was an incredible experience. I felt more active than ever. I had never enjoyed anything so much!

"I'm an active woman, resourceful and decisive. I'm Idelsa Guevara Guerrero, born in 1968 in the warm and tropical province of Piura.

"My grandmother raised me. I never had the opportunity of playing with dolls as a child because our financial situation was quite precarious. As a girl, I began working as a household helper with a family who lived nearby. Grandmother did what she was able to, and she and I took care of each other.

"In this way, I learned to earn an honest income. I took all kinds of jobs and worked very hard. But this helped me grow as a woman.

"In 1983, I moved to Lima. That year the storms and floods greatly affected our village so we sought a place that was more secure. It was hard finding a new home in the big city and we faced many obstacles. But all of this simply made me stronger.

"I found a small hillside house in a poor neighborhood. A group of volunteers organized workshops there for those of us who couldn't pay for classes. With some of my neighbors, I signed up to learn a skill. I met the man I married there but our economic situation was bad. It got worse when our children were babies. We really had to be creative to pay the bills and feed them.

"I began attending talks and taking courses on textiles, knitting and crochet. I worked very hard to perfect my skills. It took time. Many times, I had to rip something apart and start over with the yarn. The key was to be constant in my work. Today I feel competent enough to teach others.

"I decided to work from home and make things I could sell. It was tough but I was determined and, with only 50 soles, I bought yarn to create samples. I thank God that I got some orders for ponchos and I formed a group with the neighbor women. Together, we filled the orders and had more money to invest in materials.

"So far, I've faced all the obstacles together with my family and they're the most important people in my life. It's gratifying to share what I've learned over the years. All my life's experiences helped me teach my children to be good people and to work for their dreams.

"Knitting and crocheting are my passion. I especially like to create samples of new designs. When people like them, I feel so happy! I work with two other women and, together, we help one another and work to achieve the best results. We love textiles and learn something new every day.

"I want to continue to grow, to reach many shoppers in Peru and in the world, to cross borders with my art and see it appreciated and valued. My dream is for my children to enjoy life and continue together, with hope for a future filled with work, love and family harmony.

"My inspiration comes from nature, from the countryside and the towns and villages of Peru. I think often of Piura with its rivers and animals. All this brings life to my heart and motivates me to knit and create."

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!
