Mexican hammocks are our specialty. Expertly hand-woven, each hammock is individually handmade by skilled artisan weavers who have been passing their weaving skills down through the generations. Not only does this mean each hammock is made to the highest standards of quality with love and care but that each hammock is unique in its own right. Our Cielo Hammocks are Fair Trade certified and come from the home of hammocks Mérida, Mexico.
FAIR TRADE
Fairtrade and sustainable work opportunities are important to us. For our Mexican weavers, all necessary weaving materials are supplied, along with fair pay and ongoing community support. With the work of hammock weaving usually done from the weaver's own home allowing them greater freedom of time to look after their families and work in areas where employment opportunities are otherwise difficult to come by.
Whilst hammocks are designed to be used and enjoyed outside, the effects of constant exposure to UV rays and rain can reduce the life-span of your hammock.
