Orders are now being taken for late 2009 or early 2010 delivery. Please note prices for 2009 have increased to ensure the ladies are not disadvantaged by adversely fluctuating Exchange Rates - the $ to which the Peruvian nuevo soles is closely linked, has fallen by at least 25% against the £. For 2010, these prices are PROVISIONAL only, if the exchange rate worsens , we will have to ask for more per item.

Orders are welcomed, but we cannot guarantee delivery by a specific date. Items are manufactured to order only and to minimise costs of postage from Peru, we must combine orders together. It is most likely that we will have deliveries in April, July and October. Work on a 4 - 6 month lead time please.
Other items can be purchased - please see the Examples page for the Priest's Stole and a waistcoat - to special order. Please contact Nick if you wish to enquire about these or indeed and other special item not on the above price list.
If you do require urgent delivery, then we can obtain a quotation for postage of a single item from Peru. Typically, a 1st class post parcel will cost £35.
Postage within the UK is typically £2.50 per item for the larger items down to as little as £0.50 for a purse, but will normally be at cost only.

ALL income from sales is returned to the ladies and the

Jean Samaniego, co-ordinator, quotes:
“The new group we inaugurated last year has just completed a year of
work, and we are most grateful for the extra that you sent us from last
year's sales, which enabled us to fund their work. We provided them with
fabrics and paid two of the ladies from the original group to teach them.
This teaching continues, and we have seen them improve enormously, and bring
new touches to the work done, as well as be very happy to have the extra
income. Another of the group has begun studying nursing, and finds her income
most useful for buying materials for the course.”
