Pachamama began in 1990 when the founders started trading goods from the Andean Mountains of South America, the inspiration for their name which translates as "Earth Mother" from Quechua the ancient language of the Incas. Since 1996 they began “fair trading” handmade 100% wool clothing, accessories and homeware made in Nepal. All the products are sustainable, ethical and made with great deal of patience, care and love. Pachamama is at the forefront of the slow fashion movement, as each item is designed for life and made to last.
