Bolivia, Online Shopping

Jul 1, 2011
2011 / July 2011

Salvatierra Imports is named for the small indigenous community “halfway between somewhere and nowhere in eastern Bolivia” where Kristen Evans, one of the company founders, served as a Peace Corps volunteer. Most of Salvatierra’s arts and handicrafts are handmade in Bolivia’s Amazon villages, with a portion of all sales going to youth music education. This whimsical windchime stretches 5 feet and features hand-painted ceramic mangoes. Mango Windchime, $59. www.salvatierraimports.com

These soft alpaca hats are handmade by members of Artesania Sorata, a cooperative of indigenous Bolivian women. Alpaca is hypo-allergenic, so even those who are allergic to wool can sport one of these. The hand-woven hats are dyed with locally grown plant sources, making these fair-trade hats also eco-friendly, not to mention fashion-friendly. Alpaca Braided Hats: Handmade in Bolivia, $50. www.globalgoodspartners.org

Bolivia’s national flower, the cantuta, was sacred to the ancient Incans, who offered blossoms to their sun god. The Incans’ belief that the flowers represent unity is tied to a legend about two young kings who killed each other in battle but requested that they be buried side by side. Artist Rocío Meléndez alternates polished and satin finishes on the sterling silver necklace. Sterling Silver Flower Necklace, “Union,” $104.95. www.novica.com

This eye-catching handbag is made with naturally dyed luxurious llama leather. Llamas have been tied to the Andes region for thousands of years. Sayari Leather’s modern designs are a contemporary take on the traditional fare. The handmade bag closes with magnetic clasps and comes with a dust bag. Sayari Yellow Llama Leather Handbag, $110. www.sayarileather.com
