Nisolo

Nashville


Buttery soft leather goods perch like gorgeous runway models in this minimalist store and showroom. But these boots and bags are more than a guilty pleasure – they are handmade by skilled craftsmen in Trujillo, Peru, who previously lacked opportunities to work and grow in their field. Nisolo pays fair wages and provides training for its artisans in hopes of creating more sustainable fashion.
