Lucuma Designs
Supporting artists in Peru and Costa Rica through Fair Trade.
In 1998, as an American-Peruvian team, Don and Alessandra had a bold idea: “What if we could share the best Peruvian folk art with the world and create opportunities for talented artists while putting our creativity and skills to good use?”
Fast forward 23 years later, Lucuma Design’s passion and commitment to handmade and our desire to help uplift people continues to grow with each new relationship we start. Today, thanks to our artist partners’ high quality work, our handmade gift collections and folk art may be found in over 500 specialty stores in the US, Canada, and in few other places around the world.
Our Mission
With artistic collaboration and long-term personal relationships, Lucuma Designs seeks to create opportunities for talented artists in Peru and Costa Rica so they can help their families and communities. Our love for Mother Earth drives us also to pursue greater harmony in what we do hoping to inspire others to do the same. Through Fair Trade, we empower artists, buyers and consumers to build together a kinder and more beautiful world!
Lucuma Designs is a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation and the 1% for the Planet network.
