Details

Ethically made

We follow the World Fair Trade Organisation's guidelines to ensure our practices are fair and improve the lives of those who work with us.

The strips with the Andean motifs have been handmade by women in a rural community in the Peruvian Andes. We pay them a fair wage and help the ones that want to set up their own local businesses. We also dedicate part of the profits to undertake development projects chosen by the women in the communities.

The sweatshirt was tailored in a small family-run factory in Lima. We only work with small factories that respect workers' rights and treat them with the love and respect they deserve.

Materials

The sweatshirt is made of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. 

The motifs have been made using a blend of alpaca and sheep wool, so they are soft to the touch.

The handmade motifs

Each motif tells a story and represents aspects of life in the community.

The motif on this sweatshirt is called Hakaku and represents a tool they use to cut the grass to feed the animals. Because of its shape, it's also commonly known as the claws of the puma, one of the three sacred animals for the Inkas. 

Please note that each woman may weave the motifs slightly differently so the ones in your clothes might not look exactly the same as the ones in the picture. This makes every piece unique and special.

Obsessed!!!

This is the best jumper I own!! So simple, stylish and unbelievably comfy. The oversized fit is great, and I love the adjustable waist feature!! The fabric of the jumper is so soft to touch and wear, and the Andean motifs are stunning - you really have to admire them up close to see how intricate they are. I was also impressed by the friendly customer service and super fast shipping!! Thank you so much - I can’t wait to add more Handmade Stories pieces to my wardrobe :)

Super comfy!

This was a Christmas gift from my partner and is by far now one of my favourite jumpers! I wear it all the time. It's so cosy but also great to wear out and about as it's super stylish. A very flattered shape and great with jeans.

Not only a great jumper but reassuring to know it's an ethical purchase with a unique story, helping communities and small businesses.
