The Quipu Shop
HOME ABOUT US CONTACT FAIR TRADE WAWA
I visit Peru each year and buy directly from small family businesses.
Some items are purchased from out-reach workers associated with the Anglican Church in Peru who support women in the high security prison and also in the shanty towns around Lima.
All goods are fairly traded
