gifts with a cause

Enjoy your winter adventure with a flexible and cozy accessory directly from the Andes region. Capturing the stunning nature of these landscapes, Peruvian artisan Liceth Príncipe knits these acrylic and alpaca blend convertible gloves, whose main cover features a traditional pattern in a sweet palette of beige and azalea hues. But if the journey requires more of a handy accessory, the cover can also be flipped down and secured with a button, transforming the design into fingerless mitts.

Working on a traditional loom, Guatemalan artisan Elena Ixtamer creates a graceful accessory perfect for an adventurous outdoor day. Made from cotton yarns, this shawl has a geometric pattern that combines magenta, chocolate, mushroom and pink hues, allowing the garment to complement every style with its sweet design. On top of that, the artisan adds little fringes at the ends.
