In ESCVDO we create pieces thinking about the people
wearing them, being conscious about each person involved in
our production chain, and respectful towards the environment.
(1)
We employ skilled artisans in both the
sourcing of materials and the creation
of our one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces.
We are a platform for artisans to
develop and preserve local techniques
under the modality of business
ventures and micro-enterprises.
(2)
We have created an articulated
network of artisans in the three naturalregions of Peru.
We work through organizations that
share our aim to provide economic
independence and empower women in
vulnerable situations, and who share
our concern with traceability.
