What is this project all about?

Petit Kolibri created for you a timeless women's collection, made out of 100% baby alpaca wool. With this collection we can support our local artisans , whom have been greatly affected by the Covid pandemic. When you purchase a product, you are not only buying an amazing beautiful artisan piece, you also help families surviving these difficult times by providing them work. For every purchase made, we will also be able to invest in new working materials for our knitters or to educate young woman in these craftsmanship, to help them gain a more sustainable future for themselves and their society.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Our goal is to raise €10.000.
By reaching this amount we will be able to provide our local knitters a large amount of work. When reaching our goal, we can support our artisans by buying them new working materials or educate young woman in these craftsmanship and therefore helping them gaining a more sustainable future for themselves and their society.

Every single piece of this collection is unique and timeless. As our products are made out of 100% baby alpaca wool, you will feel the softness and high quality of this delicate fiber. The simplicity and designs of this collection are amazing and make you feel special every day! This collection is designed to give light and happiness to people. Warmth and a safe haven. We can all use a moment of true joy. As soon as you feel the product you will be overwhelmed by the softness and quality of the product. Five amazing minimalistic designs for an effortless, sustainable, every day look!
You will have the chance to purchase these unique items and by doing this you are making a purchase that COUNTS for others.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

The fundings will be used to both provide work to our knitters, by producing the product you have purchased, which will help them overcome these difficult times, and also gives us the opportunity to invest in materials and education for their future.

Who are the people behind the project?

PETIT KOLIBRI was founded from an unconditional love for authentic, organic and natural products. Our products are born from an unyielding commitment to promote environmental sustainability and conscious business practices in the local communities of Latin America.

Emilia Torres and Jill Blackstone, founder and co owner of Petit Kolibri both have a strong connection with Latin America. Emilia, born in Colombia and based in Berlin is a social entrepreneur with passion for social impact projects, textile craftsmanship and sustainable development. Jill found her love whilst traveling with her family among the most remote places of Latin America. Living amongst nature for such a long time, we have experienced the importance of environmental sustainability and empowering local artisans on their craftsmanship.
