Artisan Story

Founded in 2001, Jalsu Uma makes waves in Bolivia by helping women ride the tide to financial independence. Starting with just five skilled women, this cooperative has grown to over 20 artisans, each mastering alpaca fiber techniques like looming, weaving, and crochet. With the freedom to work from home and weekly group meet-ups, these artisans keep their heads above water when it comes to balancing family and finances. Every piece they create isn’t just a fashion splash; it’s a tribute to fair trade and the strength of Bolivian women—one handcrafted stitch at a time!
