LATINLAN HAPPINESS HAMMOCK

Description

This post is also available in: Español

Cheerful colors are woven in vibrant lines on a red background to create this imposing hammock, ideal for resting and giving a touch of joy and color to any corner of your home. The process of making this hammock begins when the threads are “thrown” on the loom and organized to assemble the desired patterns, then the warp is made, which is the manually weaving of the fibers on the vertical loom; finally, the ends are finished to be able to hang the hammock with ropes and the crochet garnishes are made. The whole process is 100% handmade, and depends on the expertise of the weaver to make the hammock look nice and functional. The elaboration and use of hammocks has been a tradition of many Latin American indigenous people for centuries, which today is recognized and appreciated around the world. It is a real pleasure to rest, to contemplate, or to read, lulled by the soft swing of a hammock. To buy and to use a Latinlán hammock is to recognize and to value that tradition, is to support Fair Trade and to contribute a bit to the community of San Jacinto that was a victim of the Violence in the Montes de Maria and that is recognized in Colombia as the Land of the Hammock.

They are made on request and according to the bed size you choose. It takes about a month to deliver them, based upon demand.

It is worth waiting when it is a responsible purchase of a product made under Fair Trade policies
