Make the World More Beautiful Through Fair Trade
Since 1998, Lucuma Designs has been supporting the work of over 280 artists. Many of them are women working from 15 small family workshops and cooperatives in Peru. Building business relationships based on mutual respect and trust is at the core of what we do as we collaborate with our Peruvian artist partners to create opportunities for the long run.
To us, Fair trade means caring about people and the planet before profits, and we hope to be an example of a more sustainable way of doing business. We're not alone. Alongside us are many other fair trade businesses helping to bring positive change to millions of artisans and farmers in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and around the world.
We believe in a world where everyone has the opportunity to prosper and live with dignity.
Thanks to caring world citizens like you, the far-reaching Fair Trade movement is growing rapidly! As consumers and businesses in developed countries, we all can make a difference and help reduce the inequality in the world just by shifting part of our spending into socially responsible and fairly traded products.
Thank you for learning about and supporting fair trade!
