NOVICA sells unique, fair trade items that are handmade home decor, handmade jewelry, paintings, eco friendly gifts, and apparel from artisans all over the world such as Latin America, Africa, and Asia. By working directly with artisans in eight regions, Novica gives artisans the chance to create a sustainable business.
I have purchased several jewelry items from Novica for the past few years and I am still very happy with each item. This time I chose the Women's Alpaca Wool Blend Pullover Sweater in the 'Mint Charisma' color. It has a rolled hem the sweater and on the bell sleeves. The sweater is made with 45% acrylic, 40% alpaca, and 15% wool. It feels very soft and is lightweight. While I normally would not wear anything made with wool without an undershirt, I found that it does not make my skin itchy. I think the sweater goes great with jeans or leggings. You learn about the artist that handmade your product with an enclosed artisan’s story card you get with each purchase. This sweater was designed by Alfredo Falcón from Peru, whose parents taught him how to weave as a small child.

It is very easy to order from the site since you can choose to search by types of gifts, price, occasion, and more. With over 40.000 items you just have to allow yourself lots of time to browse. Once you order, expect to receive your item(s) in a few weeks considering it is coming from overseas. I have always received my items in perfect condition in nice packages. This one came in a fancy gift bag that I plan on re-using.
