HOW WE WORK WITH ARTISANS

At Portside Living Huatulco, our artisan partners are more than collaborators—they're family. We maintain ongoing relationships rooted in respect, trust, and mutual growth. Their well-being, financial independence, and ability to thrive within their communities are priorities that guide every decision we make.

We don’t believe in one-off transactions—we believe in long-term partnerships. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with our artisans to support economic stability and sustainable livelihoods. Through initiatives like the Obakki Foundation, we extend our commitment even further—offering access to education, health care, skill development, and essential resources when needed.

Because to us, being a responsible business partner means investing in people, not just products. It’s about human connection, shared purpose, and building a better future—together.

  • ARTISAN MADE

    Each piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans—real people, real stories, lasting impact.

  • SMALL BATCH

    Each piece is handcrafted in limited quantities, preserving traditional techniques while ensuring sustainability and one-of-a-kind character.

  • TRANSPARENT SUPPLY CHAIN

    Every detail matters—from design to delivery. We trace our supply chain to ensure sustainability and protect the hands behind each piece.

  • SUSTAINABLE PARTNERSHIPS

    By sourcing local materials and visiting each region personally, we build sustainable, respectful partnerships with our artisan communities.

Each material is rich in texture and visual interest, thoughtfully-selected in an assortment of tried-and-true tones. Working with the finest artisans, we source materials that highlight the signature curvature and design of each piece.

HOW WE PAY OUR ARTISANS

Empowering Artisan Independence Through Fair, Sustainable Practices

At Portside Living Huatulco, we believe in creating long-term security—not dependency—for our artisan partners. That’s why we prioritize sustainable local livelihoods, ensuring that artisans can thrive within their own communities, even beyond our collaborations.

We uphold fair trade principles at every stage: paying promptly and fairly, providing advance payments, and covering sampling budgets when needed. We purchase directly from our artisans at prices they set, honoring their craftsmanship and autonomy.

Through Portside Living Huatulco, we go further—reinvesting profits into expanding artisan businesses and supporting their communities with education, health, and development programs. Because true partnership means investing in people, not just products.
