elephant magazine is talking about annie O!

"Another of our favorite vendors was Annie O. from Boulder, Colorado. She was selling fun hand-embroidered belts and bags from Peru. Most of her items are traditional pieces with a contemporary spin on them. The base fabrics, which are made out sheep’s wool, are sewn by a group of men, and then embroidered by a co-op of women who are paid fair wages for each item they sew. The belt buckles and bracelets are made from recycled bulls’ horns, which are also from Peru. Usually bulls’ horns are just thrown away, but Annie works with a Lima-based man who recycles them into all sorts of items.

(Note: we are most definitely not encouraging mindless consumerism here, buy only what you need. And when you do, buy from cool companies like these. Hurray for mindful shopping!)"
