Animal Mix Organic Cotton (sold in 100's)

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 our cool brand started! Today the Lucuma Designs brand represents the work of over 300 artisans throughout Peru and is sold in over 500 specialty stores in North America and few in other places around the world.

Our Mission - Spread Beauty & Cheer!

Through artistic collaboration, superb craftsmanship, sustainable design and amazing teamwork, Lucuma Designs' collections spread beauty and cheer to consumers and artists alike! By building win-win partnerships for the long run, we create opportunities that empower Peruvian artists to help themselves and their communities. Lucuma Designs has been a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation since 1999 and One Percent for the Planet since 2018.
