HAND MATTERS is an online craft & clothing shop that connects local Latin American producers with global shoppers. We honor the story of each individual producer. We showcase handmade items from small communities. We value Pachamama ethics: earthy, raw and filled with thousand-year-old wisdom. Through our platform, we aim to guard the ancient knowledge of small communities’ handcrafts and textile skills, and present them to the digital marketplace in a new light. Every item shipped has a story of origin. We support independent producers and entrepreneurs from the social economy, showcasing their work and giving them visibility. We want to transform the buyer’s experience as well, so that every person knows where their purchase comes from and the circumstances surrounding its production. Shopping can be done with purpose. Our goal is for inclusive shopping to become the norm. The local market experience, suddenly here.
