ethical junction

'Mi Mariposa', meaning 'My Butterfly', produces clothing and accessories that combine irresistible designs with the traditional embroidery of Highland Ecuador.

Our products are playful and bright, sophisticated and wearable, providing a fair trade alternative to the high street.

Working with our women's co-operative, Nuevo Camino, in the foothills of Imbabura volcano, Ecuador, we produce original and beautiful products, providing the mothers with a regular living wage, whilst preserving and celebrating an important cultural tradition.

Everything is beautifully embroidered by hand, not mass produced, giving each item its own charm, ideal for people looking for something a little different but not expensive, hand made yet contemporary.
