Why to buy: Chimuk is an ethical-sustainable fashion brand that empowers women & changes lives, providing Peruvian mothers with a pathway out of poverty towards economic & personal freedom.

Since 2017, the nonprofit Hands on Peru has been working closely with women from Huanchaquito, Peru, equipping them with tools that foster both professional & personal development. The Chimuk workshop is a beautiful public health center where creativity meets community. A team of 20 artisans has access to mental & physical health services, as well as skills-based learning. In the past four years, the 20 participating women of CHIMUK have transformed into talented artisans and have thus revolutionized their lives, earning dignified wages, learning new skills, and building community.

What we love: The collection Roots of Rebirth evokes a feeling of perseverance, opportunity and rebirth, as we rise from our roots to weave our path of life. Is it composed by handknit products, made from high quality, Peruvian alpaca wool. Unique designs pay tribute to the ancient Chimu civilization that flourished hundreds of years ago. As a result, each piece is unique, elegant, and with an inspiring story behind.

In a world where fast fashion has stolen the show, CHIMUK seeks to spotlight and pay tribute to the artisan responsible for such beauty.
