With National Coffee Day approaching, we’re thrilled to highlight not only the rich traditions of Guatemalan coffee but also our handcrafted coffeewood products available for wholesale. At UPAVIM Crafts, we pride ourselves on offering sustainable, eco-friendly collections that reflect the vibrant culture of Guatemala, while supporting skilled artisans and their communities.
Handcrafted by Talented Artisans in Guatemala
The coffeewood products in our wholesale collection are created by artisans Diego and Raquel from Santiago Atitlan, a community known for its rich heritage and craftsmanship. Located near the scenic Lake Atitlan, this artisan duo takes prunings from coffee bushes and transforms them into stunning kitchenware and home décor items. Each piece reflects the warmth and artistry of Guatemala, making it a perfect addition to your store's collection.
Sustainability Meets Craftsmanship
Our coffeewood pieces stand out for their sustainable origins. Coffee growing is a vital part of Guatemala's agricultural economy, and farmers regularly prune the bushes to promote growth. These pruned branches, often discarded, are repurposed by Diego and Raquel into unique and beautiful products, turning waste into art. With the natural bark left intact, each coffeewood item carries rustic charm, adding a touch of nature to every piece.
For wholesale buyers, this means you can offer your customers products that are not only functional and beautiful but also eco-conscious and meaningful.
Supporting Fair Trade and Artisan Communities
Purchasing coffeewood products through UPAVIM Wholesale means more than just adding unique items to your inventory. Each sale directly supports artisan families in Guatemala, ensuring fair wages and sustainable livelihoods. Proceeds from these sales also contribute to important community projects, such as schools, health clinics, and leadership programs, empowering women in marginalized areas of La Esperanza, Guatemala.
