Each Mexican hammock is unique

Weaving of a Mexican hammock by Maya

Handmade hammock

The Mexican hammock is handmade by the Maya people in Mexico. See also our trip report.

Unique versions

Each woven hammock is therefore unique in terms of patterns and colours. Therefore we put each Mexican hammock separately on the photo. You get exactly the hammock that you see in the photo. Of course, we have several of the monochrome hammocks in stock.

Top quality

Our Mexican hammocks are of top quality. Moreover, before the hammocks are shipped to Europe there is an extensive quality control.

Men and women

The Maya make the hammocks as a extra income. Usually it is done by women, but men also weave.

Relaxed

Weaving is not "production work", but is done when people feel like (time is always there).

Comparing prices

Would you like to compare the prices of different suppliers of Mexican hammocks? Because everyone uses different names and because the Mexican hammocks are woven and therefore flexible, it is difficult to compare by name or size. To determine whether the hammocks are about the same size it is best to look at the weight.
