"annie O. boutique presents gorgeous accessories hand crafted by members of a women's cooperative in Peru. Founder, Annie O. Waterman collaborates with a group of 90 women who incorporate their traditional weaving techniques into the creation of every item.

In turn, the work provided by this project, empowers the women of the coop to thrive by using their skills, ultimately resulting in a positive change for their lives and the lives of their families.

Elephant Journal Writes Product Review on annie O!

"Annie O’s belts and bags are like embroidered jewel work. They are hand-crafted in Peru and support a women’s cooperative there. Annie O. works directly with these women to create modern accessories, and the belts and clutch bags use bright traditional designs — for example, cheerful pink flowers on turquoise, or multicolored flowers on a brown background — and all for a good cause! So feel stylish and distinctive while helping other women in the Southern Hemisphere!"- Linda Lewis

The Preservation of Maithil Paintings

“Empowerment through tradition,” a slogan which rings true at the Janakpur Women’s Development Center (JWDC) in Southern Nepal. It is a foundation such as this which has preserved ancient Maithil paintings, rooted in traditions that women have passed down for generations. Thanks to the generosity from various donors and small grants, the JWDC has grown and flourished over the decade and has made Janakpur famous for its colorful paintings on paper.
