Wearable Art, Handcrafted in Peru

We’re thrilled to welcome Jenny Krauss to Dovecote—a brand that’s as beautiful in purpose as it is in design.

After earning a degree in fine arts, Jenny wanted her work to reach beyond galleries. In 2005, she began working with artisans in Bolivia, and shortly after, she fell in love with the intricate embroidery traditions of Ayacucho, Peru. Today, more than 800 Peruvian artisans bring her designs to life, creating exquisite hand-embroidered belts that are true works of art.

      

Each belt begins with Jenny’s sketch and a vibrant color palette, then passes through the hands of skilled weavers and embroiderers. From hand-dyed yarn to hand-loomed bases, every detail is crafted with intention, providing sustainable, fair-trade employment for the communities who make them.

These belts aren’t just accessories—they’re stories you can wear.

Stop by Dovecote this week to see the collection in person and discover why each piece is a timeless, meaningful addition to your wardrobe.
