Our Story

In 1998 as an American-Peruvian team we had a crazy idea: what if we could share the best of Peruvian craftsmanship with the world and create opportunities for top artists while having fun? Don as web expert and Alessandra as visual designer brought the perfect combination of creativity and expertise to get Lucuma Designs started! Today you may find our handmade gifts in over 500 specialty and fair trade shops, museums, botanical gardens, nature centers and boutiques in North America and few other places around the world. We hope you will find them inspiring. Don & Alessandra, Co-founders

Our Mission

Lucuma Designs promotes superb artists from Peru and Costa Rica. Inspired by our love for nature, our collections come to life through collaborative design, sustainability, fine craftsmanship and authenticity.

Through fair trade, our handmade gifts and traditional folk art become tools that connect, uplift, inspire, spark change and bring hope. Together we are creating a more compassionate and beautiful world.

Lucuma Designs has been a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation since 1999 and One Percent for the Planet since 2018.

Bring the warmth and wonder of the farm to story time with these playful Farm Animal Finger Puppets. Each barnyard character opens the door to open ended play and screen-free adventures. Hand-knitted by women in Peru with 100% organic cotton yarn, these fair trade toys make storytelling feel more personal while inviting children and grown-ups to play, laugh and connect.

With cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, llamas, rabbits, ducks, roosters, bees and more, children can recreate a busy day on the farm, sing beloved nursery rhymes, practice animal sounds or dream up adventures where a curious llama becomes best friends with a little red rooster. This assortment makes every display fun to explore and encourages customers to return for new characters to add to their collection.

Handmade by Women

Each puppet is hand-knitted by skilled women in the highlands of Peru using a traditional three-needle knitting technique passed down through generations. Working with 100% organic cotton yarn, the knitters bring every tiny character to life one stitch at a time. Their handmade work helps preserve a remarkable textile tradition while supporting sustainable livelihoods for their families.

Why Fair Trade Matters

For our team at Lucuma Designs, Fair Trade is more than a business model. It's a way of life that guides our daily decisions and inspires us to keep learning and evolving.

It lives in the relationships we've built over many years with the artist partners we know personally. Together, we've grown through trust and a shared commitment to building sustainable livelihoods and a better future for their families and communities.

Fair Trade is about much more than creating jobs. Through creative collaboration and by encouraging our artist partners to continually refine their craft and excel at what they do, we've built handmade collections our clients have come to trust year after year.

Ultimately, Fair Trade reminds us that business can be a force for good when it's guided by shared values and meaningful connections.

Lucuma Designs has been a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation since 1999.

Why We Choose Organic Cotton

We believe toys should bring joy to children while leaving a lighter footprint on the Earth. That’s why we choose organic cotton yarn. It’s one of the best solutions we’ve found for making natural toys while supporting farming practices that are gentler on nature.

Organic farming helps reduce reliance on synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, while supporting healthier soils, biodiversity, and cleaner waterways. That can make a difference not only for the land, but also for the farming communities and ecosystems connected to it.

From the farmers who grow the cotton, to the women who knit each finger puppet, to the children who bring them to life through play, organic cotton is a choice we can feel good about.
