Cielo Hammocks Sustainability Actions

Supports artisan families

Your purchase makes a difference for more than 900 artisan families in Yucatán. More than 900 Mayan women are part of the CIELO family. From their homes, they weave with love and receive fair payment for their art. Each hammock comes with the name of the weaver who created it, carrying her story and heart in every thread.

Eliminated middlemen

In 2016, we decided to change this model forever: we opened our own facilities in Teabo, Yucatán, where artisans could deliver their hammocks directly. We eliminated middlemen, ensured fair and immediate payment, and built direct relationships that allow us to understand their needs and provide continuous training.
