07/25/2023 – 1’000 hammocks sold through major french eco fair trade reseller Nature & Découverte

It’s time to tell you about a partnership that has enabled us to professionalize our services and promote Mayan craftsmanship on a larger scale starting in 2023.

We were pleased to be able to collaborate with Hamac del Sol, a company that stands out for its commitment to fair trade, offering handcrafted hammocks made by local artisans in Mexico, Colombia, and Nicaragua. As a WFTO-certified company, Hamac del Sol is committed to respecting the principles of fair trade, such as transparency, equity, sustainability, and participation.

This agreement has enabled us to manufacture more than 1,200 fabulous handmade hammocks for Nature et Découverte in 2023, including an XXL Mayan hammock. We have been able to create two personalized models.

Fighting Counterfeits Means Making True Luxury Accessible

Today, we want to share more than just our products. Behind every hammock or belt, there’s a commitment to doing things right: respecting artisans, practicing real fair trade, delivering lasting quality, and sharing our passion.

Is it so difficult to be FAIR?

On the internet, cheap imitations are everywhere. Attractive photos, bargain prices… but behind them often lie low-quality products that disrespect traditional skills and the artisans who create them.

Buying responsibly also means learning to recognize true quality.

Our choice: local action

Many talk about labels and certifications. We chose to act directly on the ground:

✔ No unnecessary middlemen
✔ Direct support for our partners in Guatemala
✔ Full control of the production chain

We invest locally to ensure fair pay and respectful working conditions.

True luxury is sustainable and accessible

A beautiful hammock or handcrafted belt is a unique product that lasts. Yes, it may cost more than a cheap industrial copy — but it’s a responsible purchase that’s more durable and more comfortable!

Acting together

We believe every purchase can make a difference. Our mission is to help you recognize real quality, support artisans, and share this unique know-how with the world.
