The Manuela Ramos Movement is a Peruvian feminist organization.  It was founded in 1978 "to create favorable changes for women so they could fully enjoy their citizenship, including gender equality."  In 1993, the group built "The House of the Woman Artisan" to provide training, consultancy, and credit to women artisans from around the country to help them market their handcrafted goods.  The Manuela Ramos Movement has joined with Novica to broaden the reach of the wonderful work of these women.

I love these 100% alpaca wool gloves.  They were created by Puno women in the Movement and have a honeycomb pattern that gives them a bouncy happy feeling.  And the brick red color will blend well with pretty much anything.  $42.95
