Lucia's Imports is committed to working under Fair Trade guidelines and developing long term partnerships with Guatemalan families, artisan groups and cooperatives to produce and export high quality accessories and handicrafts. Our trading partnerships ensure artisans earn a living wage in the local context, work under safe and healthy working conditions, are provided equal opportunities, and engage in environmentally sustainable practices.

Farming is the primary source of income for many Mayan people in Guatemala. Creating a market for textiles, jewelry, and ceramics creates additional job opportunities and employs various skill sets, thereby enabling people to earn a reliable income amid seasonal fluctuations in the farming industry.

Mission Statement

Established in 2005

Lucia’s Imports L.L.C operates according to the Fair Trade Federation Principles - partnering with Guatemalan families, artisan groups, and cooperatives to produce and develop a wholesale market for their quality handicrafts and accessories.

Globally, many artisans have little opportunity to market their products. Working side by side with Guatemalan artisans helps improve their economic well being, enabling them to earn a living wage in a region where there are few opportunities to do so. Through direct collaboration with artisans, we are able to design products that are not only fashionable, modern, and functional but embrace traditional Mayan design.

By committing to the Fair Trade Federation Principles we believe we can make a difference in the lives of artisans one purchase at a time, while bringing awareness to the beauty of Guatemalan art and culture.
