"Through learning how to weave a palma macora natural fiber hat, typical in our region of northern Peru, we have adapted this wonderful technique to different types of items."

"We have lived through very difficult times, especially the pandemic, which was the hardest experience we have had so... far. We have lost family and friends; we had to stay home for fear of catching it. We stopped selling our crafts that were our main livelihood for the family. However, we did not stop working with our fibers. The work gave us distraction and inspiration to continue forward, despite not having sales.

"The biggest challenge is dedication and love for what we do. We would go out to fairs and markets to sell our art, leaving our families for a few days. When they see us so passionate about our art and our love for our legacy, they understand why we are so intensely dedicated. Another challenge is the lack of support from our government. Unfortunately, we have had to get ahead on our own and, of that, we are extremely proud. The opportunity that we appreciate from this pandemic is to adapt more to technology and new consumer trends.

"Our goal, hope and dreams for the future are to form a great group, so that our work sells both nationally and internationally. And to keep growing together renewing ourselves and innovating in design.

"Through learning how to weave a palma macora straw hat, typical in our region of northern Peru, we have adapted this wonderful technique to different types of items such as key rings, purses and cases, experimenting with the application of this technique to new designs. We make each piece with passion and love for our culture and clients.

"Our learning was always collective. Thanks to the support of a designer, we have applied our techniques to different types of handmade articles. Now, we teach in schools, on social media and with our families. We have achieved everything thanks to the willingness to learn, and the desire and love of art.

"The palma macora fiber is a very versatile and generous material. We buy it in kilos and, depending on the design, we dye it with different pigments. What we like the most is how the designs turn out and the value that our shoppers give it. That is why every day we strive to do it much better, so you will feel even more satisfied. We are inspired by our surroundings, the colors in nature, our culture and community.

"Going forward as an artisan group is complicated. But thanks to the unconditional support of our family members, we have moved forward and we have the most important alliance – our family. We want to inspire and to transmit the love of colors, crafts and our millenary knitting culture. We are an important source of work in our community and thus, we spread history and identity. We also contribute to tourism, and that makes us very happy."

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!

UNICEF Market artisans set their own prices and control their own businesses. UNICEF Market offers artisans a free platform to sell their work throughout the United States.
