Fighting Counterfeits Means Choosing True Guatemalan Handcrafts

Today, we want to share more than just our products. Behind every Guatemalan hammock and handcrafted cushion, 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?

Online, cheap imitations are everywhere. Attractive photos, bargain prices… but often they hide low-quality copies that disrespect traditional skills and the artisans who make 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 artisan partners in Guatemala
✔ Full control of the production chain of our hammocks

We invest locally to ensure fair pay and respectful working conditions for every artisan. You can look at our page dedicated to the explanation of the two types of handcrafted hammocks we are selling to get additional information about the fabrication process of our products.

True luxury is sustainable and accessible

A handcrafted hammock or cushion is a unique piece that lasts. Yes, it may cost more than a cheap industrial copy — but it’s a responsible purchase, more durable, more comfortable, and full of soul.

Acting together

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