Hammock Artisans of Paraiba

"We create regional products, of local production, but the creative way we develop them is our strongest feature."

Armando Dantas is an entrepreneur who is conscious of the socio-environmental responsibility he shares with other... citizens. He heads up a group of talented artisans in the Northeastern Brazilian state of Paraiba. They weave nets and craft décor accents in an ethical, responsible and maintainable manner with the use of organic cotton and recycled cotton threads.

"A feather is born with color, and needs no additives or coloring. Because it already possesses color, it needs no dyes," he says. "A fiber has been developed here through agro-ecological cultivation methods in which the use of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and other industrialized chemicals that pollute the soil and water is not permitted. In this way, the farmer doesn't handle harmful products that are poisonous to health and the environment."

Brazil's colored cotton of Paraiba is grown on family farms and is planted mainly in small villages and communities. The cotton is most often purchased directly from the farmer, without commercial middlemen, which guarantees a fair price for both the farmer and the buyer.

The idea of respect for nature has gained enormous importance in the sale and use of textiles. Armando Dantas is proud of having proposed sustainable decoration with innovative designs. "Our creations use organic cotton woven and finished with craft techniques as macramé and crochet, crafted by an efficient and talented group of local artisans.

"The fibers are transformed into hammocks and décor objects. The crafting process is ecological and socially sustainable. We guarantee employment as well as direct and indirect income for countless families, among them, farmers, weavers, lace makers and other artisans in rural settlements, associations and communities.

"We create regional products, of local production, but the creative way we develop them is our strongest feature. Our hammocks — among other utilitarian and ornamental designs — are crafted with threads from scraps of cotton fabrics used in clothing manufacture, strengthened with polyester threads derived from recycling PET plastic bottles. To adapt the use of these materials, we chose a concept of sustainability and repurposing resources."

Another important material is the organic cotton in its natural colors. "This is an inspired product because the production in the field is not irrigated. From the planting to the weaving, we save 87.5 percent of the water normally used. In the textile industry, it is the dyeing and the use of the water that cause the greatest environmental impact. We work to avoid that."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.
