Blue Villarica Pastel Beanie

Hand knitted 100% wool blue beanie, fleece-lined for additional warmth and softness.

This item is made in Nepal by Pachamama, an ethical company that for 15 years has been working with artisans in Nepal and Ecuador to produce truly unique knitwear. In both countries the majority of production is village based, with the knitters supplementing their incomes from farming and fitting their knitting around their own family and work commitments. Pachamama also employs a small amount of people in a factory environment to hand finish and pack the garments. All these people work in excellent conditions and receive benefits and pay above the local standards.

Pachamama have bought from the same producers since the company was founded – ensuring continuous and solid economic and social growth for a large number of skilled artisans. In addition, they donate 10% of their profits to a children’s charity in Nepal.
