Llama

Nestled in a remote village in the Andes mountains of Peru, we collaborate closely with skilled artisans who master the art of knitting. Most of the stuffed animal designs in our collection are meticulously knitted combined with loomed sections, while some designs are knit entirely by hand with needles. After the toy animals are stuffed and assembled, the artisans finish with detailed embroidery. Through this income-generating partnership, the artisans are able to secure food and clothing for themselves and their children.

Designed in Colorado and handcrafted in Peru, Armenia, and Guatemala, skilled artisans bring our designs to life. We pay living wages, offering fair credit terms and prompt payment. We promote safe and healthy workplaces and foster respect for cultural diversity at every step of the process. For decades, our business model and your orders have been a catalyst for the socioeconomic progress of artisans and their families. At the heart of Melange Collection is a deep commitment to community, acknowledging the diverse dimensions of lived experiences, and putting people and their well-being at the forefront of all we do. We foster space for women to work in groups, seamlessly helping and learning from each other. This interconnectedness embodies a spirit of sisterhood and collective growth. At the individual level, we embrace a flexible workplace that offers artisans the autonomy to take projects home to work, and to work at any time that aligns with their personal schedules and familial responsibilities. We're proud that this approach greatly benefits the women we work with, especially those with children.
