Our Customers Thoughts


Lucuma Designs ArtCrafts have traveled to far corners of the world. And here, we want to share with you what some of our happy customers have shared with us.


...........

"[The arpillera stockings] are more beautiful than I thought they'd be. The pictures didn't do them justice. I only wish I could extend my appreciation of the work that went into these, directly to the artists. My children will cherish these for years to come.
        Shannon, CA

...........

"Just wanted to let you know that I received my finger puppets today. I LOVE THEM! They are so cute. I really think that my students will enjoy them also. Thank you!"
        Deanna Ross, MI

...........

“I gave on of the arpilleras to my niece for her wedding, and am returning the one enclosed. Thanks for letting me compare them. They are gorgeous. The pictures do not do them justice! All the best with your business. I'll definitely be back."

"As someone who has lived in South America, I know how much exploitation goes on with people importing native crafts, and how much really can be done to help these craftspeople in fair, meaningful ways so that selling the products of their labor is truly a partnership.  It sounds like your company strives to do the latter, and I am very happy to support you in that."
        Judith Hoffman, IN

...........

“I received the stocking today.  It is as lovely as I had hoped it would be.  It has been a pleasure doing business with you and I will certainly recommend your site to others."
        Paula Coffey, VA

...........

“Thanks for following up on us. The mirror did arrive safely to our house and it was better than what we expected it to be! It fit right into the room - and we chose it only from the pictures on your web site. The mirror turned out to be exactly as we envisioned it and we enjoy it a lot." "
        The Barzilay Family

...........

“I have just placed an order for 4 items of Peruvian Folk Art, and I can hardly wait to see them. I learned of your products at the National Service Learning Conference in Orlando last month. I kept going up to see the quilt you created for the conference, studying the stitching, the composition of the work, and just soaking up the wonder of how it was created!"

"Your web site is wonderful. Each page delighted my senses and kept me wanting to see more. Naturally, I got somewhat carried away when it came to shopping! I am remodeling a house and have been planning the location where a quilt will hang. Now, I will have one for the regular year and one for the Christmas season! The pillow will adorn my sofa. I look forward to your e-mail service and regular updates. Thank you for bringing these gorgeous items of folk art to my region of this very small world!"
        Donna Erdman, Florida

...........

"I just wanted to let you know that I received the order, and I LOVE the little gourd boxes. Please keep me on your mailing list - your merchandise is beautiful!"
       Lisa, VA

...........

“I received the Arpillera today, it is beautiful and I know the person who is getting this present will just love it, thank you so much for the information and the quilt.”
       Brian Cosgrove, Michigan, USA

...........

"Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that my arpilleras arrived this week and they are absolutely fantastic! I can hardly wait to have them up in my house - what absolutely wonderful work. Thank you and happy holidays! I can't wait to tell people about the wonderful items on your web-site."
       Ana Johnston, Canada

...........

"I received the second mirror today and am very happy with them both. I feel honored to have them in my home and know that my children and I, and their children and grandchildren will enjoy the mirrors for many years to come."
       Joan Morton, Arizona, USA

...........

"I must say that your customer service is the best I've seen in a long time. My head is still spinning from the fact that I sent my request Sunday, and received the items on Wednesday. I am certainly in a state of WOW. Let me take this opportunity to reiterate the fact that I am very pleased with the merchandise. Even my husband smiled and said, "Honey, those are really cute, and good quality too." Thanks again. Shall remember your site fondly for myself, gift giving and Xmas. Until we meet again... Fondly,"
        Joletta Brown, Virginia, USA

...........

"My arpillera arrived safely yesterday and is delightful. I had no problems with Customs this time. The arpillera is as wonderful as I hoped it would be, the attachment for hanging it up is a great idea - I still haven't hung my first one. My husband loves the ladies which are viewed from above rather than the side. My favorites are the mountains and the pastel tints of the houses."
        Linda Adams, Great Britain

...........

"I LOVE my newest arpillera! I'm glad you helped me choose this particular harvesting scene because the quinoa flowers are wonderful."
        Michelle Frilot, Virginia, USA

...........

"I received the arpillera early Saturday and I used it in my lesson today. The students were really interested, and the other teachers loved it! I was so glad I had it; thank you for your extra efforts in getting it to me. I will keep your web address and share it with others. I was very impressed with how you do business. Once again, thank you for your help."
       Terri Sticker, Texas, USA

...........

"My Nativity painting arrived today! It is all that I hoped it would be and even more. Thanks and thank you for helping to give artists a chance to sell their products. Thanks and good luck with your endeavors."
        Joe Hatley, North Carolina, USA

...........

"We have been raising funds for our small church by having sales of nativity items from around the world. Even is this coastal Massachusetts town, the handcrafts from Peru have been a big favorite and the Lucuma Designs items have been especially appreciated. The beautiful handwork and colorful scenes present the birth of Christ in a way that makes people think of the event in a new way."
        Eileen Canty, St. Rita's Church, Massachusetts, USA
