These Wuaman Baby Slippers are so tiny and adorable, they are absolutely irresistible for the new baby in your life. They were made for Björn's in collaboration with Wuaman, a third-generation family business that started in 1999 in Peru and began in 2019 in Colorado. The slippers are sized for new borns but can be used for babies that are growing as the hand crocheted design allows for stretch. There is also a small tie at the front the of slipper that can be tightened or loosened. 

Our collaboration with Wuaman employs more than 25 women from underdeveloped communities in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Wuaman hires women with zero experience and provides them with free training on crochet and knitwork. After training, Wuaman supplies the craftswomen with yarn so they can handcraft the designs we have created together without any upfront cost. With the success of this collaboration, Wuaman was able to team up with nonprofit women's organizations in Peru to increase production and continue to help the underserved women there. We proudly offer our customers these machine-washable, 100% natural cotton toys and ornaments straight from women's hardworking hands in the Peruvian Andes.
