Absolutely LOVING everything about this collection.  The bright colors and chunky jewels have me wanting every piece! I’m especially crazy about all the berry colored jewelry they’re carrying this season…SO perfect.  The Andean Collection is a fabulous accessories line featuring the work of artisans in South America. The founder Amanda Judge, was blown away with inspiration to start the line after she conducted a series of interviews with South American women in low-income areas.  She asked questions about their survival strategies in the midst of such poverty and came to learn so much about their culture and history.  I just LOVE this about the Andean Collection!  That they took the time to learn from the people they wanted to empower.  We believe this is key to providing real help instead of charity. So much love for this company! Amanda discovered that South American’s have been making jewelry out of seeds from the rainforest for a long time and decided to put her efforts towards growing their market.  She’s done just that and now you can find these gorgeous products in a range of stores from Anthro to small boutiques to online shopping.
