On a mission for people & planet
Solid Crafts
We are honoured to work with Crafts By Solid to bring forwards our Hand Crocheted & Knitted styles. Their heart for people & creating an industry in which not only creates beautiful, consciously made products but changes the lives of communities along the way is truly inspiring & aligns with our mission at WP. What's most poignant about developing a supply chain with a foundation of people & planet, is the realisation how much our small actions can be big actions to others. We are capable of making a difference & pioneering for change. Solid is Guaranteed Fair Trade certified. Their Artisans have a fair income in exchange for the products produced -"A decent standard of living must cover food, water, housing, education, health care, transport, clothing and the ability to save for unexpected events. In addition to this monetary income, Solid provides many additional benefits, as child-care on site, social workshops, flexible working hours, the possibility to get an advanced payment, etc."

- Solid International'In Peru, teenage pregnancies remain a large problem. Through different social projects Solid wants to fight this gender-based violence and strengthen the parenting skills, self-reliance and emotional well-being of these young parents, so they can break through the vicious circle of violence and poverty and provide a better future for their children.' - Solid International
Pinchinku Fibres
Our Hand Crocheted & Knitted styles were botanically dyed in Peru by a small women led business called Pichinku. The team seasonally picks for botanical plants & flowers to bring forwards vibrantly coloured yarns coloured from their surrounding resources. Dana the founder of Pichinku understood that if traditional artisanal work isn't supported financially it will be lost over time & that poverty doesn't leave time for hobbies. Pichinku is a team of 3 Peruvian women and Dana who all earn fair & stable wages. Pichinku was born to create an environmentally friendly & socially conscious products which helps preserve artisan crafts.
