Peru- Where Jewelry is Unique, Handcrafted and Gorgeous!

Posted by at 7:43 AM
Lima, the capitol of Peru is a thriving modern city, but retains so many of the skills 
and traditions of it's history. Jewelry making is certainly among one of the talents 
that is worth a
second look- beautiful pieces crafted from alpaca silver , all with a flair that 
reflects the past. Peru jewelry today is available in a wide variety of beautiful 
styles and colors. The styles may reflect the rich heritage of Inca or Pre-Inca cultures,
such as the Moche Civilization or the beautiful Chavin Culture art.

Featured at Earthlover Shopping are a few wonderful examples of the talents of these
artisan- more to come!

Eco Friendly from Brazil- Our exclusive Maria Buzina Line!

Posted by at 6:16 AM
Earthlover is so proud to work with artist Gabi Goncalves of Brazil- her work is truly amazing and unique, which is a reflection of her as a person! Maria Buzina was born in 2004 , to participate of Babilônia Hype Fair, in Rio de Janeiro. The goal of artist Gabi Golçalves - or as we know her, "Maria Buzina" , was simple: to develop exclusive bags and exclusives accessories in an essentially organic process, using unconventional materials.After experimenting with several unique materials, Gabi came to donated used Truck Canvas, which actually brought her back to the roots of her family. Gabi's grandparents were truck drivers, and working with a material that revives the smells, the grease stains, the memories of her childhood and past is truly inspiring for her. Each canvas tells a story, and the stains that others may see become a unique canvas for Gabi to create recycled fashion that tells a history. The tarps have spent many years traveling throughout South America, and continue to travel the world now recreated by this talented young artist into functional fashion. Recycled, and beautiful- each of these bags is to be treasured!

BRIAGE Diaper- Tote Bag

No Baby? Still FABULOUS for a giant tote or weekender!

Small change bag to compliment your tote!
Her line continues to grow and evolve, and as we see more and more interest in her work we look forward to expanding the selection for our US customers. Earthlover is the exclusive source for these fantastic bags, and it is with great pride that we offer these unique pieces of recycled usable art to our friends!
