The Emady artisan group originally included three women and has now grown to five women who have a sewing business that specializes in products made from Shipibo, a hand-painted cloth that is produced in the Peruvian jungle. Grupo Emady buys the cloth directly from Shipibo women and sews placemats, runners, purses, backpacks, napkins, vests, and other products that show off the incredible material.
