Materials
OSO® Cotton — Soft touch, freshness, and elegant drape; ideal for indoor use.
DuraSun® — Resistant to sun, humidity, and heavy use; perfect for outdoors.
Traditional Cotton — The classic fiber used for decades in our hammocks.
Nylon — Also known as 'Yucatecan silk,' light and durable.
Community & Impact
Working from home allows our artisans to care for their families while weaving with freedom. Every purchase supports dignified income, continuous training, and more human supply chains. We believe true luxury is resting with purpose: supporting those who weave culture and future into every thread.
Work with Artisans
At CIELO we provide men and women in Mayan villages with the materials they need to weave hammocks from the comfort of their homes. Once finished, our community leaders collect them directly from their homes, or artisans deliver them to our facilities in Teabo, Yucatán — the heart of our network. Artisans work on their own schedules, allowing them to care for their families while earning additional income, in conditions far more dignified than a factory or farm job.
Working Conditions & Quality
Hammock weaving supplements family income while offering flexible, human-centered employment. Instead of burdening artisans with costs, CIELO covers 100% of materials, transportation, and sales, ensuring our weavers never go into debt or take on risks. This model allows us to guarantee superior quality, working only with premium materials.
Quality Control
Every hammock collected is carefully inspected at our warehouse to ensure the highest standards of excellence before being shipped to its new home.
