aymara and quechua ethnic
backgrounds – grouped in more
than 20 different workshops
around the city of la paz,
bolivia. about 70% of our
artisans are women.
we are constantly striving to
carry out our production process
within a framework of respect to
people, animals, and the
environment. we monitor and
train the artisan workshops that
work with us in issues such as
safety in the workplace,
recycling, quality control, and
production techniques.
we also have a clean production
process. all our products are
hand made or made in hand-operated
machines, which require no
electric energy to work.
