Eco-Fashion Supports Peruvian Handcrafts Made by Women of Domestic Violence

Inspired by vibrant Peruvian textiles and a desire to bring work to female artisan cooperatives in South America, Annie O. Waterman founded an accessory collection, called “Annie O,” comprised of hand-embroidered handbags, belts, scarves, and more. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the boutique works with 80 women who are victims of domestic violence and/or living in impoverishment, helping them to attain financial independence. Their skills in handcrafts, merged with modern design, results in timeless and appealing fair trade fashion.

The Annie O range can be purchased online from the Annie O Boutique on Etsy.com
