Misericordia works since 2002 in Peru, it is in our country where they decided to create a single project combining creation and social engagement: the first Peruvian brand of clothing present on the international scene of creation. Misericordia is one equip of dressmakers who works with his hands, his spirit and heart. "The hope and the will are inside of us all. Living is fighting. let us bend to learn and see another world. No more Utopia."

The adventure started in Zapallal in the Northern suburbs, and was prolonged in the district of Victoria in the centre of Lima. Then in November 2006, Misericordia’s team follows its metamorphosis in the middle of capital, in the district of Lince. All the team gathered in a full space which gathers the laboratory of creation and the workshop of Misericordia: La Cabaña de Alta Costura. Doors were open all year long, to share the working process with the person in charge of the creation of the models, the cut of fabrics and clothes industry of clothing. They came to discover their single history in one traumatized, terrible and attractive country.

Misericordia is a Peruvian independent company, S.A.C (Sociedad Anonyma Cerada). In order to respect Human Rights and apply some of the new economic theories born with alterglobalization, it is necessary to be actively present in a country and to live in its heart undertaking some direct actions.

Being present in the heart of a developing country remains the only solution to have a direct, social and political impact in order to stop the corruption, poverty and to develop true and creative dynamics.

In Peru , more than half of the population still lives with less than 2 dollars per day.
Misericordia's objective is to guarantee a fair income, taking into account its worker's needs and its family in terms of education, health, social progression and more generally to raise the standard of living and the knowledge of everyone, outside of his work.
In 2008, Misericordia counts 32 right employment.
The workers work 45 hours, 5 days per week. Living in the Cono Norte, all the workers have to take the bus to come to the workshop.

Then what could feat better than a project of clothes design with a social standart for the social design site?!
