Etchiboy

At Etchiboy, you (and your mother) can enjoy high-quality aboriginal products, including traditional products of Métis culture. With these one-of-a-kind unique items, you can purchase various things like bags, blankets, sashes, belts, mugs, pins, and much more.

Not only is this a Métis company, but they also support single mothers and orphans who are Quechua Indians from the Andes in the region around Cusco, Peru. Miguel Vielfaure, the creator of Etchiboy, employs 20 single mothers from South America to fashion the Etchiboy products. The idea was sparked in 2006 when Miguel travelled to Peru, and in 2007 Etchiboy was born.

“When I travelled to Peru, I found a marketplace with sashes created with a loom that were very similar to the metis sashes,” explains Miguel Vielfaure. “When I returned to Canada, I convinced the Manitoba Métis Federation to order 26 of them.

“In order to make the sashes I then proceeded to contact a friend in Lima who helped me get in touch with El Telar which is an association of single mothers, near Cuzco,” he continues. “After having met them via Internet, I decided to launch myself in the fair trade market and create Etchiboy.”
