Producer Information
Our importer has been recognised by the British Association for Fair Trade Shops (BAFTS) and is the exclusive partner with the Zoe project in Peru, which was established in 2000. They guarantee a minimum order every month to ensure that the project is sustainable and the people involved have regular work.
The women who work for the Zoe project live in the shanty towns of Tablada on the outskirts of Lima and have varying degrees of skill. Each new collection is designed collaboratively with the women, taking into consideration availability of materials and building on existing techniques. They make the products in their own homes enabling them to earn a living wage without having to leave their children. They are paid to train others what they have learnt, so the project is enabling increasing numbers of Peru's poorest women and young people to have the opportunity of fairly paid employment.
This partnership gives the Zoe project valuable business and design advice ensuring that their products will appeal to the western market.
The project produces several different ranges of jewellery - their collections include the popular 'Semilla' seed range, made from seeds and nuts sourced from the Amazon jungle.
