Meet Our Artisans, Part I

Friday, November 18, 2011

emiLime products go through many hands before reaching yours. Although you’re well aware that our items are made by Peruvian hands, your mouse cursor may not have made it to our “Artisans” section just yet. That’s why we’d like to dedicate a whole blog entry to highlight certain admirable women… the ones that helped turn emiLime from a dream to a reality.

Delsy V. is one of the many artisans that have contributed a great deal to our company. She is from the provinces, a town in Peru called Huánuco. Although her mom taught her how to knit as a child, she shied away from the practice once she discovered how much she enjoyed embroidery and crochet. While she was pregnant with her second child (now a 1-year-old Diego), Delsy kept busy simultaneously watching TV and embroidering. She has a little workshop in her house where she loves to work and when she has some extra time, she helps her sister with her own line of artesania.

Have you ever taken a look at the Loom hat? You should, because this is Delsy’s specialty. She embroiders the hat with beautiful and bright colors to make you look fashionable while still keeping warm. It’s no wonder she claims embroidery to be her forte.
