Designs
Hi!
My name is Stephanie Alvarez, and I’m the founder of StitchAway Designs. At
StitchAway we make handmade embroidery items, such as necklaces and caps. I currently
make the embroidery designs, and I partner with a fair-trade organization in
Guatemala to bring you quality products. StitchAway provides indigenous women
in my parents home country the opportunity to use their skills to support their
families. I’m proud to have the opportunity to connect with such a special
organization to bring you these incredible pieces.
Our
Mission
At
StitchAway Designs my goal is to bring you unique, handmade products that
spread out a positive message and serve a good cause. A type of message that
gives a word of encouragement that comes in a small special package. It is a product
that translates in every angle a representation of love; from the hands in
which they’re made from to the moment it lands in your hands. Not only is it
made with love but it brings the richness of another country’s culture directly
to you, and while
not every product is perfect, it’s absolutely made with love. It’s our simple
way of bringing something a little extraordinary and special to you.

+ Cojoyla
When I discovered
Cojolya, a fair-trade organization, and learn about their mission to maintain,empower,
and celebrate the women of their community, I knew I had to join them.
The financial benefit and entrepreneurial empowerment of this trade can help
build skills and sustain families. Many have learned to embroider since a young age
and these same advance skills is what helps me bring you high quality products. In return they love the collaboration that this partnership brings between designer and artisan.
