I love being abe to shop for authentic artisan crafts. I also belong to KIVA, the non-profit organization that gives loans to help these craftspeople buy supplies. This is a win win! We received shawls from Peru that are exquisite and well made. We've been to Peru and I know that these talented people can use every penny that their crafts bring in. I'm tired of shopping at stores that all carry the same weary goods, and at Novica I've found the perfect place to to spend my money!
