Welcome to Pachacuti, the home of fair trade hats!  
Anita Roddick, founder of the Body Shop, said "the best anti-ageing product you can buy is a sunhat."   So, keep yourself protected from the sun and look stylish this summer in one of our Panama hats.  Alternatively, why not follow the look of Sienna Miller in her new film The Edge of Love with one of our elegant felt fedoras.

Founded on a passion for improving the lives of Andean producers and their communities, Pachacuti was established by Carry Somers in 1992.  Pachacuti means world upside-down in language and describes our endeavour to redress the inequalities in the fashion industry through demonstrating that it is possible to create stylish clothing and accessories which benefit the producers and are environmentally sustainable.

Carry is a finalist in this year's Women in Ethical Business Awards, sponsored by Eve magazine and www.triodos.co.uk. To see a short video about Pachacuti and the projects we support in South America, please go to www.activatemoney.com/project.php  and click Watch Film under the photo of Carry. 

If you are in the Peak District this summer, please come and visit us at our newly refurbished shop.
