Who we are
We own a company in Guatemala and started a individual enterprise in Switzerland. Two persons represent legally those two entity that have a social, educational as well as commercial purpose. Frédéric Bourquard and Marta Escobar Castellanos are the principal legal representatives of these entities.
“Our aim is to offer quality while supporting a community. We want to prove that it’s possible to provide handmade quality products at a fair price for the consumer and the producer. We want to make it as easy and safe to get an original product on our site as it is to get a industrial product inspired by the original on large retailer websites. As we want to ensure traceability and reasonable price for the consumer as for the craftsmen we are working with, we operate in Switzerland as well as in Guatemala. That allows us work with no intermediary and to be as close to our producers customer that we are are to our customers.”
