Fair Trade Olive Branch Kippa
$22.00
Completely designed by women artisans of Santiago, Atitlán who are known for their exquisite embroidery work, MayaWorks’ fair trade Olive Branch kippa (yarmulke) is a work of art. Simple yet elegant, the kippah is crocheted using natural colored thread. Next, olive branches are embroidered on one side of the yarmulke for dramatic effect. Each fair trade Olive Branch kippah is approximately 6 inches in diameter, but variation may occur due to the handmade nature of the yarmulke. Your purchase of this Fair Trade Kippa provides income to the artisans who crochet the kippot, which means better food on their family table, better access to health care, and school for Maya children.
