Gratitude

Artesania is happy to celebrate its 40th anniversary in business and attributes its success to the unyielding support from our artisans and loyal customers.

Artesania continues to stand behind practicing fair trade. Many women artisans knit in their home and are compensated fairly for their labor.  These women appreciate this work because it helps them feed, clothe, and educate their children.

Artesania is an eco-friendly business.  We mostly use natural fibers, like alpaca, that are both renewable and sustainable.  The animals live in the highlands of the Andes mountains, in their natural habitat, and no harm comes to them from our production.

My wife Monica, our dog Shaina, and I are the core of our small family business.  We are grateful to all of our artisans and customers for making these 40 years possible. We do just about everything on this end including designing, photography, selling, invoicing, packing boxes, cleaning the toilets…you get the picture.  Because we maintain a low overhead, and because we import directly from the artisans, we are able to offer high quality, unique products at very reasonable prices.

We thank you, our customers, for your dedicated support, for loving Artesania, and allowing us to provide much needed work to those who truly need it.

Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.

Keith and Monica Merl
