All products in our sustainable online store are works of art from the hands of our mamitas. And what's more, they are high-quality unique pieces made from genuine quality materials. For example, 100% of our wool comes from Peru. We also strive to make the value and supply chains of the materials as transparent and sustainable as the production itself.
Our handmade shop is based in Switzerland. The workshop and place of work is Alto Trujillo, a place in one of Peru's poor districts. Our employees, the Mamitas, knit, sew and crochet for our common cause of making the world and especially life in Peru a little better. Through their work, the Mamitas are able to send their children to school, find their self-esteem again and also make new friends. This is the drive, this is CARAMBA.
We send part of the income from our fair fashion shop directly to Alto Trujillo. We primarily support the Talleres, these are the ateliers where the Mamitas learn to sew, knit and crochet in order to then create their professional income. And while the Mamitas learn, the children do crafts, play and learn. The Talleres are the safe haven for all generations.
