All of these belts are hand made by women's cooperatives in rural areas of Peru. The work is done according to fair trade guidelines; most of the artisans sew in their homes or at a communal studio workshop and are paid a living wage. The sizing is: small (fits 23"-31"), medium (fits 28"-37") and large (fits 34"-43").

Each belt is a one-of-a-kind work of beautiful craftsmanship using a contemporary take on traditional Andean techniques.

The technique used to make them involves cutting tiny slits into the fabric and then sewing decorative stitches around them. It's slow, painstaking work and is a tradition passed down for future generations. Never before transformed into belts, this is the first project for the people of a small, remote village called Sarhua. 2" wide.
