honoring mother earth

In a world where mass production dominates the fashion industry, our commitment to both environmental and cultural sustainability grows stronger with each passing year.

Here’s how we are honoring mother earth.

Utilizing upcycled materials

Supporting our goal to reduce waste levels and lower our carbon footprint, our latest collection saves thousands of yards of fabric from the landfill, all while continuing to provide fair income opportunities to our partner artisans.

Putting durability first

Our pieces are produced in small batches and are made from 100% cotton and high-quality leather. Each piece is handcrafted to last using traditional methods.

Supporting communities that need it most

The women we partner with are talented artisans whose main obstacle to overcoming poverty is a lack of access to a market. Through their work with Mercado Global, these women are able to access the international market and earn a fair wage for the first time in their lives.

None of what Mercado Global has been able to accomplish would be possible without your commitment and passion for our mission.

We are empowering women from all walks of life, from the artisans weaving our products in Guatemala to the women who wear our accessories.

Together, we have proven that when we work as a community we can make a difference.
