Your little one deserves the softness of cotton and the charm of something made by hand.
Little Stories from Peru brings playful textile artistry to a child's wardrobe. Handcrafted from 100% cotton, each natural ivory cap features colourful, raised Arpillera-style embroidery: smiling suns, animals, flowers and charming details that give each hat its own personality.
The soft cotton knit forms a naturally rolled edge, rather than a folded or sewn brim. Three colourful yarn tassels, each with a decorative bead, finish the crown.

A Little Surprise from Peru
Every hat is truly one of a kind, with its own colourful, hand-embroidered design. No two are exactly alike, and that's what makes them special. The hat you receive may look a little different from those pictured, but each brings its own little story, lovingly crafted in Peru.

Top FAQs Answered 🌟 frequently asked questions
Will I receive the exact item shown?
If a product is listed as one-of-one, vintage, a unique specimen, or the exact piece photographed, that is the piece you will receive. Repeatable apparel and multi-unit products may use representative photography and will match the purchased style, size, color, and listed specifications.
Are all your items handmade?
No. Many pieces are handmade, hand-knit, handwoven, carved, assembled, or produced in small quantities. Others are commercially produced. We state the material, construction, maker, origin, and technique on the individual product page when those facts are known.
Do you restock sold-out items?
Sometimes. Core apparel and repeatable merchandise may return when available. One-of-one, vintage, limited, and unusually sourced pieces often do not. If inventory says one, there may really be only one.
What determines the price of a piece?
We consider material, fiber content where applicable, construction, finishing, origin, workmanship, production quantity, condition, and the finished piece itself. Price makes sense only after you know what you are comparing.
What is your return policy?
All products may be returned within 30 calendar days after delivery. Merchandise must be unused, unworn, and in original condition. Contact info@fromtheandes.com to request a return. Approved U.S. returns include a prepaid return label paid by From The Andes. Eligible returns may receive a refund of the merchandise price, an exchange, or store credit, with no restocking fee.
