Acosta Piedra Family

“With each piece, we share part of our family history, which has brought us many years of strength."

“Hello, my name is Monica Acosta Piedra. Let me introduce you to my family, as well as the pillars of my life: my... parents, Eduardo Acosta and Gabriela Piedra.

“In 1984, my parents, being a young couple with three children, were looking for the best way to get ahead. So, my father began to make leather shoes. It was a trade with a lot of demand. But, eventually, Costa Rica began to receive an enormous quantity of shoes from other countries, and my parents’ business ceased to be profitable.

“My parents began to search for another way that we could obtain a more consistent form of income. Because of this, they began to make bracelets, hair ties, and headbands. Leather was a material that attracted a lot of people who made wallets, belts, briefcases, and every type of bag imaginable. It was in this way that my parents got ahead, and they always provided the essentials for us while they dedicated themselves to the creation of these pieces. We began to get involved in the process, first only observing. Doing the same thing that our parents did always appealed to us. We were impressed with each piece that they made, because they were made with a lot of love and dedication. I know that this is the unique and special touch that our pieces had.

“My father, Eduardo, was always a very creative person,” comments Monica between laughs, “His imagination soars, but it is because of what he has done that we are able to have these unique pieces. My mother has always been at his side, helping him with the commercial aspect. They have always made an excellent team. Because of this, with my brothers, Leonardo and Gabriel, we became a little bit more involved each time. We had the best teachers.

“For various reasons, I was in Switzerland for five years. It was a drastic change not only for me, but for my family. Being there, I appreciated the work of my parents more. Returning, I began to work with my parents 100%. It is a marvelous art; it is my roots, and it has united us as a family.

“With each piece, we share part of our family history, which has brought us many years of strength. In this way, we have carried on perfecting our techniques in order to always give our clients the best through decades of love and dedication.”

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.

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.
