the Process
Design
At a weekly meeting, the Cooperative director, managers and assistants get together to go over the latest orders and discuss new designs.
Embroidery
Each item is hand embroidered with nothing but needle, thread and the talent of the women artisans. The women get paid per piece, depending on the complexity of the embroidery design.
Washing
All of the products are hand-washed onsite in Fond des Blancs.
Ironing
After washing each product is hand-ironed before being prepared for cutting and final packaging. The irons are manually heated using locally-sourced coal-
Final Product
Final products are transported to Port-au-Prince for distribution at stores in Haiti and shipment to the U.S., where they are sold in stores and online.
