Buy Local - Buy Fair

Buy Local, Buy Fair is the new theme for our 2012 KUSIKUY Collection.  The catalog photo shoot took place at the Brattleboro Farmers' Market, where farmers such as Lilac Ridge, Duttons, and Dwight Miller sell their local, organic produce.  Learn about our local market here: http://www.brattleborofarmersmarket.com/  Visit http://www.kusikuy.com to browse KUSIKUY's newest eco-ethical designs for 2012.

KUSIKUY, always Fair Trade,  links global communities - farmer to farmer and global citizens - people to people.  As we understand and support each other, we move closer to creating a just and fair world.

Our newest product, THE ALPACA WRAPPER, is a celebration of the whimsy and thrift of the KUSIKUY knitters.  Hand knit of of extra alpaca yarn, it is an eco-alternative to paper coffee cup sleeves.  It can be saved and reused hundreds of time and naturally felts and improves with age.  The ALPACA WRAPPER keeps beverages hot and hands cool.  It also doubles as a wrist warmer and a great conversation starter.
