Mexican Hammocks South Africa

About Us

Mexican Hammocks Ltd Pty is an Australian Company owned and operated by Mike Rennie and Guy Halpin, importing and selling top quality handmade Mexican hammocks, accessories and Mexican Blankets to South Africa, Australia and around the world.

The hammocks we sell are all hand-woven by Mayan men and women in Yucatán, México. The work on hammocks is done in order to supplement their family income. Since the work is done at home, working conditions are better than in factories and more environmentally friendly. In this way the women and men can work and take care of their children at the same time. If they want to take a day off for medical, family, or personal reasons, they do so without the need to ask anyone's permission or report to anyone. When they have finished the hammocks, they deliver them to our company representative or our representative goes to their village to collect.

We employ many weavers in remote village areas that don't often have many work opportunities. We believe in Fair Trade principles by paying and rewarding our workers fairly for their skillful hammock weaving. This shows through in the high quality of our hammocks they produce as our weavers are happy in their work.

 

Our Goal 

Mexican Hammocks Pty Ltd aims to provides South Africans with superior quality hammocks at affordable prices. We want to provide our clients with a unique online experience through an easy to use and informative online store. We strive to improve the lives of the local native Mayan Community by providing sustainable employment and fair working conditions.

We are a Australian based company, operating successfully in both Australia and New Zealand. All orders are processed through us and your purchases are dispatched directly from our stocks in Merida, Mexico where all our hammocks are made.
