B Corp Certification is awarded to purpose-driven companies that create benefits for all stakeholders, including workers, communities, customers, and our planet. B Corporations aspire to do no harm and benefit all through their products, practices, and profits.⁠

How do we make it Happen?

We work directly with artisans to modernize and preserve traditional handmade products. In Mexico, the rise of imported goods has endangered local craftsmanship, as artisans struggle with fewer opportunities and a lack of interest to pass down their skills. Mass production from overseas has diminished the autonomy of many artisans, making it harder for them to sustain their livelihood.

We aim to combat this by supporting fair wages while keeping traditions alive.

We believe in providing fair trade and sustainable opportunities to indigenous communities of artisans worldwide.

How we contribute?

  • Volume-based benefits

    We not only allow our artisans to set their prices, but we also work with them year-round to ensure an increased benefit by collaborating with us.

  • Micro-loans

    We provide small monetary amounts as a loan, at 0% interest to empower someone in poverty to improve their lives through entrepreneurship.

  • Coaching

    We ensure artisans get feedback and support to improve quality through better materials, communicating trends and more so they can increase their sales and opportunity.

We are committed to ensuring artisans receive fair compensation by establishing income standards tailored to the realities of their craft and communities in Mexico. Rather than relying on arbitrary benchmarks, we meticulously assess various factors to establish fair income levels, allowing our artisans to flourish.

We believe that our business thrives because of its commitment to ethical practices and responsibility toward others.
