Each purchase of these ornaments offer a sustainable source of income for the women artisans who make them. 

Made by women in vulnerable situations within depressed communities, meaning rural and urban communities that are relatively depressed, in terms of age of housing, extent of poverty, growth of per capita income, extent of unemployment, job lag, or surplus labor. The makers carefully cut a synthetic felt base into shape, and then hand-embroider each ornament’s design with an alpaca blended yarn. 

While many are great for festive hangings and trees, some are timeless and can be hung from plants, windows, car mirrors and more. A great addition to gift wrapping as a gift tag as well. They’re sure to bring a bit of joy and hope into your space.

Materials 100% felt based. Embroidered with 20% alpaca 80% synthetic yarn
Origin Peru

What's not to love?

As a family we are enamored with the beautiful Christmas ornaments found at Pokoloko. The hand embroidered ornaments are keepsakes that will decorate Christmas trees for years to come. I look for them when they are on sale because not only are they beautiful but I get to save a bit as well! Win, win.

Absolutely beautiful, unique tree hangings

I bought 8 of these for my minimalist eco friendly tree and 8 for my daughter as a secret Santa gift.
I know she will love them as much as I do.
They are so well made and look so unique on the tree. I’m beyond happy I get so support a great company who supports makers like these. Couldn’t love them more!

  • Artisan made

    We travel off the beaten path to bring you independently made products by makers connected to their local communities and environments. We focus on long-term relationships with them. Their skills shine through in their small-scale operations, resulting in quality craftsmanship that’s often individually handmade.

  • Directly traded

    Fair trade is one thing and ensures a high degree of confidence that the people, the materials and the environment are not exploited in the supply chain. Direct trade on top of that means the artisan-to-Poko-to-you chain is transparent and, well...direct. 

  • Materials mater

    We strive to choose materials that have a minimal impact on the environment, and that stand up to the test of time & use. This means working with materials that the artisans choose and have access to, in tandem with developing new products with sustainability & durability in mind.

  • Carbon neutral

    To offset the carbon footprint of your order from production to processing to shipment, every purchase plants two trees to offset the CO2 emissions. We are constantly seeking new ways to innovate our sustainability practices - this is our social responsibility and commitment for the planet & all that grow on it. 

  • Quality customer care

    We are truly a tiny team over here in Poko land and every email, query or review helps us feel connected to our shared mission, and to you! We wouldn’t be here without you. From speedy shipping with flat rates, quick responses, and quality assurance - we take pride in the work we do. You’re a part of that - so, thank you!

  • Purpose purchase

    Whether it's the socio-economic development of the artisans and their communities we work with (for example: interest-free microloans) or giveback products or campaigns; we believe that if we have a platform, it is way more fulfilling to use it for the good of our local and global neighbours.
