Previous Vendor Profiles:
Indigenous Designs
Founded 14 years ago, Indigenous Designs has pioneered a business
that combines compelling product, green materials, and a way to help
developing countries.
Indigenous knitwear is handmade by independent artisans in Peru and
Ecuador by creating cooperative local networks. Their production model
of community based artisans has brought jobs to villages, empowered
women and honored local traditions.
All cotton yarns are certified organic, and all other fibres, such as Tencel,
wool and alpaca, are all up to GOTS standards.
