5. Ok. Ok. So Urban Inca's been a busy girl.Here are some photos from the Fair Trade Fashion Show and a sneak peek at my new fair trade leather and textile sandals. They are beautiful!
I'll start with the best part. At the last minute, they needed something for a male model and I happen to have just the thing: a pair of recycled board shorts and a vintage textile belt in his size!

About a dozen adorable models of all ages sauntered and posed along the catwalk wearing a variety of embroidered tunics, textile belts and other garments. My other favorite model was a lovely young lady modeling an embroidered tunic from Mexico and my very own suede and vintage textile boots. She looked great and wore a beautiful smile!

This was my very first event and, thankfully, I had help! My sister, Angie of Two Prince Bakery Theater, and my buddies, Mishou Sanchez and Lyndi Jordan.
 |
| Here I am in front of my table with a few of the items I feature: children's boots, recycled denim skirts and leather and textile bracelets. |

The only bummer... the sandals did not arrive in time to share them with the fashion show attendees. But, here they are, before they hit the website. I hope you love them. They were made by a small cobble shop in Cusco, the same one that makes the awesome boots being modeled above. So far, they are on Etsy, but I hope to have them on the Urban Inca website very soon.

 |
| Each sandal isa one-of-a-kind, fair trade creation straight from Cusco. They are available in any size for women, children and, coming soon, men! |
Next, I will be preparing to travel to San Francisco to visit my dear friend, Rikki, and to shop my fair trade beauties to local boutiques. I'll keep you posted!
