Up Up & Away Gourd Ornament Banners

There's no time like the holidays to get carried away! The art of carving decorative gourds is a time-honored tradition in Peru, and because nature makes each gourd unique, every ornament is one-of-a kind! Our fair trade partner Manos Amigas works with small workshops across Peru, helping them find new markets for their products and supporting health and education in maker communities.
