Child wearing handmade Peruvian jumper ages 0-8, Fiordland New Zealand

OUR APPROACH

I grew up in Peru, my husband in Scotland, and our daughter Isla is being raised here in Aotearoa. Somewhere between these three worlds, tucked away in Fiordland, Chicha was born.

Every Chicha piece is embroidered entirely by hand. You can feel it the moment you hold one, in the softness of the wool, the playfulness of the designs, the richness of the colour. They come with those tiny, beautiful imperfections that tell you someone spent hours making this just for your child.

We believe kids deserve bright beautiful clothes; built for the kind of childhood you can only have here.

ETHICALLY SOURCED

Our jumpers aren't made on an automated factory line. They're made in Peru by Analy and her team of skilled knitters, who work with us from the first sample to the final colourful details.

It's a slower, more human way of making children's clothing.

Meet the Makers

Every Chicha product is handmade with purpose and sold with purpose too.
We make a monthly donation to UNICEF's Global Parents Appeal, because we believe the things we buy should help make the world a little better for every child. 💜
