Pachamama means 'Earth Mother' in Quechua the language of the Incas, and is a god for the Andean people even today. Respect for the Earth and people who make their living from it is a guiding principle for our business. Many of the Ecuadorian and Nepalese people whose hand made goods we sell are smallholders who supplement their income from farming by knitting.

Pachamama is committed to supplying year round orders for these knitters to ensure a regular and reliable income. We also work with family run businesses to produce the hand finishing of garments.

Pachamama is a recognised importer by The British Association of Fair Trade Shops.
