Vilma is an artisan from Peru who has been supplying the Dora Dolls and trinket bags for us for several years, now. Her mother started making them during COVID, but after passing away Vilma has continued her legacy. As a matter of fact, she named the collection of dolls after her mother, Dora. Christmas is coming and one of this one of a kind dolls or trinket bags would make a wonderful gift!

While in Peru and in business school, boutique owner Jannett Spearman, dreamed big dreams for building a special type of shop. Through the encouragement and friendship from an inspiring teacher, Anita, Jannett's passion for wire crochet propelled her to create a business honoring fair trade practices for international artisans. To this day, the deep friendship that helped nurture Jannett's dream remains strong and Anita is now the director of Peru for Spearman Artisanry. 20% of ALL sales are donated to the non-profit Building Lives International, directly helping artisan communities.
