Moreover, members enjoy a sense of achievement and of self-determination.In addition to creating yarns for handcrafters, the Manos Cooperatives have continued to produce ready-to-wear pieces for designers and department stores such as Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Nordstroms, and Saks. Today, the Manos Cooperatives number 17 cooperatives that employ 350 artisans.Manos del Uruguay has been a member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) since 2009
