Violeta Pacheco knits this men's sweater in 100% alpaca and graces it with geometric designs inspired by her native Peru's traditional textiles. The sweater, made with shades of ivory, greenish-blue and teal, is a classic and sophisticated men's garment ideal for winter that's soft to the touch thanks to the alpaca fiber.

This charming wall art captures the heart of Christmas with a wonderfully whimsical nativity scene - Joseph standing alongside Mary, who is tenderly holding baby Jesus under the bright guiding star. The contrast between the hand-molded ceramic figurines and the intentionally distressed wood background creates a delightful rustic aesthetic that brings warmth to any holiday display. Each character showcases remarkable attention to detail in both form and paint work, with subtle touches that reveal the careful handcrafting process. Guatemalan artisan Liz Oliva creates this endearing decorative accent, perfect for adding character to your space and seasonal decorations.

Designed by Shashi Sehgal, a lovely cushion cover tells a story of ancient life in India. Herders guided their flocks to graze in lush grasslands bordering the Thar Desert. For coverlets, the women created quilts of layered fabric, stitched by hand in a technique known as gudri-making or hand quilting. This quilted cushion cover is created in the same way of cotton voile.

The motifs are created with block prints, applied by hand in blue on ivory. Neat rows of flowers represent the unbroken lineage of tradition handed down over generations. Finished with piping, the edges are scalloped and the stitching is done by hand.

A zipper at the bottom of the cushion cover opens to insert the cushions.
