"Above all, I hope my hammock designs are recognized for their quality and aesthetic. I'd like for them to be admired and enjoyed as beautiful and functional creations."

Latest Update “Our workshop has grown gradually, and has already allowed us to export to various parts of the world.... Latest Update

“Our workshop has grown gradually, and has already allowed us to export to various parts of the world. Novica has been a great ally to share our work more, and in an avant-garde and creative way.

“I'm excited to say that some of our pieces have gone to Australia or Norway. I imagine a hammock in Norway, in that naturally cold and cloudy weather. It is exciting and strange.

“We work with five people, all equally passionate about this beautiful tradition. Every step is important to us, from the fabric to the technique. Whether a double hammock or the beautiful traditional Mayan style, I am always struck by the colors that it is possible to create. And the color complements the mood that I want to leave in each of our pieces. A little bit of calm and peace.

“I am very grateful to Novica; it has given me a great opportunity to present my hammocks worldwide. It has taught me how to establish a quality standard, and that has allowed me to create a new mindset. This exposure of our work has made us grow and consolidate our sales. Thank you so much.”

Original Artisan Story

"My name is Roger Solís and I'm from the Yucatan. I make hammocks. I studied merchandising but, after finishing my studies, I had the chance to meet a very experienced artisan whom I befriended, and I became interested in his work.

"I began to learn the process of weaving hammocks through this friend, who has a very effective and detailed technique. I liked it so much that I decided to open my own workshop. In the beginning, I had the support of my family and, with time, I was able to start the project on my own.

"I was attracted to this craft because of the variety of colors and combinations along with the effort it takes to produce a quality hammock.

"While starting my workshop I faced a lot of difficulties, mostly because it takes a lot of work to balance finding customers and creating items but, with time and experience, these activities have come together.

"Little by little, the workshop has been growing. With help from my friend and teacher, I've been able to train others and I currently have four assistants.

"The materials we use are wooden frames, which are repaired and reused, and nylon or cotton cords. Once all of the materials are prepared, the process starts by separating the frames and determining the number of spools needed for the size of the hammock. We use two weaves — the 'Maya', which is thick and closed, and the 'Mayacón,' which is more open.

"The needle goes through the spool and we walk around the frames, weaving the hammock by hand one row at a time. It's important to pay attention, since any distraction can produce errors such as loose threads or a weakened weave. Once the body is formed, the 'arms,' or ends are made with the help of a chair that gives it shape.

"What I like the most about this work is being able to admire the final design, since it's very satisfying seeing the results of my efforts and the hours I work. I love thinking about the happiness my creations will bring, waiting for shoppers to see my hammocks and admire their quality and beauty.

"In the future, I'd like to be able to sell my hammocks in different places, nationally and internationally. I hope to grow my business and have the opportunity to employ more artisans.”

"Above all, I hope my hammock designs are recognized for their quality and aesthetic. I'd like for them to be admired and enjoyed as beautiful and functional creations. I'll keep learning and improving my technique, while appreciating and enjoying my work."

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

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

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.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.
