Somers has already had considerable success including winning a number of awards. Signifi cantly they include
Entrepreneur with a Conscience 2008 and British Small Business Champions Ethical Award 2007. Presumably the
greatest success however, is her own claim: ‘Pachacuti shows that in a world of mass-produced clothing, people
can wear individual, stylish garments which have been created by hand using traditional skills, with respect for
the environment and ensuring that the producers receive a living wage’ (http://shop.pachacuti.co.uk/about-us-1-w.
