Angela Sanchez emails, “My new company, Artyfactos, is an eco-exotic, statement jewelry business featuring hand-woven designs by entrepreneurial women in Latin America. Whenever I visited my parents in Colombia, I returned with jewelry made by local artisans. That’s when I saw the opportunity to bring unique and green fashion to the U.S., while creating sustainable economic opportunities. We offer manufacturing and technology tools to small workshops to develop their infrastructure and build business capacity. Our boldly colored pieces are made with all-natural materials such as orange peels, cantaloupe seeds, coffee beans, and acai berries. Artyfactos jewelry is sold online, in selected boutiques, and through home parties.”
