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

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.

With a curious face and plenty of character, this Llama Finger Puppet is always ready to wander into funny stories, unexpected adventures and imaginative journeys. Life on the farm has inspired children’s imaginations for generations, and these charming finger puppets bring favorite barnyard animals to life through creative, screen-free play. Hand-knitted by women artisans in Peru using 100% organic cotton yarn, each tiny animal invites children to create stories inspired by the warmth, comfort, and simple joys of country life.

From making animal sounds to imagining everyday adventures on the farm, these familiar companions encourage storytelling and imaginative role play while helping children build confidence and creativity.

Perfect for country stores, toy stores, bookstores, farm shops, museum gift shops, and children’s boutiques. Farm animals are timeless favorites for birthdays, party favors, classroom activities, or simply choosing a favorite little friend to take home.

Pocket-sized, lightweight, and travel-friendly, these finger puppets are recommended for children ages 3+. Colors and handmade details may vary slightly, making each puppet unique. Price is per finger puppet.

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 Storytelling Matters

Stories have long helped children understand the world around them, exploring ideas, relationships and emotions in ways that feel natural and engaging.

When finger puppets become part of story time, children move beyond listening to become active participants while giving voices to characters, retelling favorite tales and creating entirely new adventures of their own. Storytelling can also help foster a love of books and  encourage a passion for reading.

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.
