We mainly use wicker in most of the pieces, which is made in Tequisquiapan. We also use many palm leaves which are used in different communities such as Tlamacazapa, Bécal and San Luis Amatlán. Additionally, we use popotillo which is obtained from different places around Los Reyes La Paz and Tzintzuntzan. Finally we use henequen that is obtained and woven in Xocchel.
No, of the price you see for each of the products we give a third to each artisan who creates them. We allocate the other two thirds: 1) to company expenses and 2) to our profit. But our purpose is to maintain the work and knowledge of the artisans so their profit is the same as ours, which for us is fair trade.
