Intercrafts Peru SAC is a Lima-based fair trade organisation which is specialised in Peruvian handicrafts: Promoting their richness, value, diversity and culture, they offer a variety of original and unique pieces by Peruvian artisans to the global market. In doing so, Intercrafts Peru sets a focus on long-term partnerships and therefore works with the same artisans since its founding – around 300 craftsmen in different places of Peru who are organised in associations and artisanal groups within the Central of Craftsmen of Peru (CIAP).  CIAP is an interregional Peruvian artisans’ association that started marketing and exporting the products of its member in the 1990s. It was also the same association that founded Intercrafts Peru in 2002. Intercrafts Peru serves CIAP as a commercial structure, with the main objective of promoting and exporting the artisanal products of its members.  Intercrafts Peru and CIAP are promoters and activists of fair trade in Peru and Intercrafts Peru is a Guaranteed Member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). The organization therefore aligns its work with the 10 principles of Fair Trade.* Among other principles, Intercrafts aims to create marketing opportunities through international sales and thus to “contribute to the sustainable development of the artisans, their families and their communities,” as to put Intercrafts' mission in their own words. Tika Rumi is one of the associations of artisans that cooperates with Intercrafts. The artisans are specialised in silverware and jewellery. With currently 8 partners, Tika Rumi is a small group of artisans located in Villa El Salvador, an urban, largely residential coastal district on the outskirts of the capital and the largest city of Peru, Lima; most of its members originate from other regions of Peru like Cuzco, Cerro de Pasco, Huancayo and Lima. Another one of the Intercrafts Peru artisans is Alejandro Hurtado Laveriano who’s workshop is based in Huancayo, the capital of Junín
