Aztec Sol Baskets

Why We Love It

This beautiful piece comes from a community of 23 artisan families in Mexico who are currently applying for Fair Trade certification. Pine needles that fall and settle on the forest floor remain intact for a long period of time before biodegrading. Basket-making represents culture and tradition for these families, and helps them turn this renewable resource into a sustainable lifestyle.

Ethically Produced

Products made outside the US that have been handpicked from companies that employ fair wage and labor practices, as well as small-scale sustainable production methods. Profits from the sale of these products directly benefit the local artisanal communities where goods are made.

Handmade

Made or prepared by hand rather than by machine. Industrial manufacturing is a significant contributor to global warming and other pollution. The sale of handmade goods supports small-scale, independent artists and crafters who generally operate more sustainably than big businesses. Handmade items are skillfully crafted with detail, each one slightly varied.

Natural Material

Any material that comes from plants, animals, or minerals and is used without significant modification or processing. Natural materials include biotic materials, such as wood and natural fibers, and inorganic materials including stone, metal, and clay.
