Cosita Linda was created to bring beautiful
treasures from Peru to the UK. In Peru I was inspired by the amazing beauty of the local products made by artisans in small
indigenous communities. I thought how great a gift it would be to show these to the rest of the world. Our treasure
is sourced from various artisans in Peru, from the peaks of the Andes to the depths of the Amazon. The beauty of the natural,
semi-precious gemstones in our jewellery to the
hand-woven natural fibres in our range of bags and belts, combined with the skill of generations of indigenous artisans, gives
awe-insipiring results!
Our business is working in the rescue of Peruvian ancestral techniques and returning
to the use of natural materials. It is friendly to the environment and maintains a healthy
working atmosphere.
We work with groups of indigenous women from underprivileged
areas of Peru that are often victims of family violence and hardship, but despite their sometimes tragic situations they work
through their problems and show their creative capacity to produce beautiful and unique pieces of art. Through the assistance of technical training, these women
are empowered with technical abilities and productiveness and create the possibility of showing their competency for a better
working environment and create a better future for themselves and their children.
Our goal is to be able to provide our treasures to businesses and individuals that appreciate these beautiful creations and
to emphasise an ecological component by using mainly natural materials.
To summarise, we offer a variety of handmade accessories
such as handbags, belts, jewellery sets and bracelets. All of these are made from or contain natural materials
and are created in local environments without the use of chemicals and machinery.
About Peruvian Jewellery... Peruvian jewellery is hand crafted by indigenous artisans. There are no "sweatshops"
in Peru and none of our goods are produced in factories with machines. The Hand Crafted Jewellery is bought directly from
artisans that set their own prices, and is exported direct to England. The wire used to make these wonderful creations is called "Alpaca
Silver". Alpaca Silver is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc and has similar properties to stainless steel
in the fact that it does not rust or tarnish.
Most of our jewellery is handmade with semi-precious stones, such as black onyx/obsidian, blue sodalite,
brown tiger eye, rose quartz, turquoise, serpentine, among others. You will also find jewellery made with cat's
eye beads, bugle glass and huayruro seeds from the Amazon.
'Cosita Linda' is brought to you from the highlands of Peru to your doorstep. Please take a look at
