Slow fashion empowering indigenous women in Peru The impact we make Handmade Stories Handmade Stories is a female-owned slow fashion brand and social enterprise that supports women in rural communities in the Andes, artisans, and men in prison in Peru so they can reach economic independence and keep their traditions alive. All our clothes are limited edition and incorporate traditional Andean motifs handwoven by women so they can have a fair income without having to leave their communities to work. This allows them to have their own income so they don't have to depend on their husbands. We also support the ones that want to start their own businesses and dedicate part of the profits to undertake development projects in the communities.

The handmade motifs Each motif tells a story and represents aspects of life in the community The motif across the chest 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.  The motif on the shoulders that looks like an S represents the tool they use in the community to work the fields, which has the same shape. It's called cuty in Quechua, and the motif is named after it. Some women weave a line or dots in between the cutys, some don't. So even if your friend buys the same piece, the motifs may vary a bit, which makes every piece unique. 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. What is eBay for Change?
