Hammock Shop USA - As Seen on Atlantis Studios - Spring Showcase 2010
Mexican Hammocks Ltd Pty is an Australian Company owned and operated by Mike Rennie and Guy Halpin, importing and selling top quality handmade Mexican hammocks, accessories and Mexican Blankets to the United States and worldwide.
The hammocks we sell at Hammock Shop USA are all
hand-woven by Mayan men and women in Yucatán, México.
The work on hammocks is done in order to
help supplement family income. Work
is done at home where working conditions are much better and safer
than in factories and also in a more environmentally friendly manner. This gives the weavers the opportunity to work and take care of their children at the
same time. If they need or want to take a day off for
medical, family, or personal reasons, they do so
without the need to ask anyone's permission or
report to anyone. Completed hammocks are delivered to our
company representative or our representative
goes to their village to collect.
We employ many weavers in remote village areas that don't often have many work opportunities. We believe in Fair Trade principles by paying and rewarding our workers fairly for their skillful hammock weaving. This shows through in the high quality of the hammocks they produce for us as our weavers are happy in their work.
Our Goal
Mexican Hammocks Pty Ltd aims to provides Americans with superior quality hammocks at affordable prices. We want to provide our clients with a unique online experience through an easy to use and informative online store. We strive to improve the lives of the local native Mayan Community by providing sustainable employment and fair working conditions.
We are an Australian based company, operating successfully in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. All orders are processed through us and your purchases are dispatched directly from our stocks in Merida, Mexico where all our hammocks are made.
