DO GOOD, BUY GOOD, HELP ARTISANS IN PERU, AND MOUNTAIN SPIRIT INSTITUTE
Engaging in "Fair Trade" practices under guidance from the Fair Trade Federation.
Fair Trade, a system based on direct relationships
and partnerships between buyers in the global north and producing
communities in developing countries. Fair Trade helps ensure that
farmers and artisans throughout the developing world receive a
fair price for their products, that communities are healthy, and
the environment is preserved.
You play an important role in promoting Fair Trade. By shifting
your spending to support Fair Trade, and by demanding that businesses
make Fair Trade products available, you can reshape the global
economy to one that works for people and the planet.

BOOTS
Custom Made Woman's Boots From Cusco, Peru:
 When we walked into Mariano's boot shop in Cucso we knew we were looking at quality products. I trained as an apprentice bootmaker in  Austria, so was familiar with the traditional European bootmaking techniques when I saw them. And here they were in Cusco, Peru, in the form of high quality suede boots, custom made right in the shop. Mariano takes an outline of one's foot, then gets to work. While we lived in Cusco we talked with him to see if we could order from the states. At an international fair we had put the boots out and they proved so popular, we decided to put them on our website. All proceeds go to the bootmaker, and to Mountain Spirit Institute to further our non-profit educational mission and programs.
