Andes Gifts

Andes Gifts works with hundreds of Aymara and Quechua women artisans in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia who skillfully knit the beautiful items they sell, including hats, scarves, gloves and more. Their model is to provide affordable, high quality and hand-made products that can be sourced ethically and sustainably which in turn benefit both individuals and communities.

Andes Gifts creates real economic impact in rural indigenous communities, provides technical training in these communities, offers a micro-loan program for its artisans and families and nothing is ever produced in a sweatshop or in sweatshop like conditions.
