Pokoloko Hand-Embroidered Ornament

A selection of different ornament designs, made by women in vulnerable situations within developing communities, these ornaments offer a sustainable source of income for the women artisans who make them. 

These ornaments are made by female survivors of domestic & sexual violence organized together as a group of artisans by three Peruvian female entrepreneurs. These makers carefully cut a synthetic felt base into shape, and then hand-embroider each ornament’s design with an alpaca blended yarn. Their artisanal work gives each of these women sustainable income sources for themselves and their families.

While many are great for festive hangings and trees, some are timeless and can be hung from plants, windows, car mirrors and more. A great addition to gift wrapping as a gift tag as well. They’re sure to bring a bit of joy and hope into your space.
