As the weather is starting to cool off, for many, why not get a head start and shop for some seasonal accessories. Mayu, an online boutique, has 100% alpaca items that are hand-knit by women in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Each crafted item is fairly traded. The women who make the products receive fair wages for their work.
Mayu began in 2006 after Kate Robertson, a Chicago native, returned from a two-year assignment as a Peace Core Volunteer. She started this business “as a way to support the talented women. It is a way for them to use their amazing knitting skills to their advantage and generate income where they might otherwise be unemployed,” she says.
These items are great to wear alone or for layering. What is your favorite fall/winter accessory?
