About Us

CreArte is the craft division of International Fair Trade Company.  It was formally established in 2000, to improve the living conditions of small Guatemalan handicraft producers.

This support is oriented primarily to organized producers and local fair trade organizations, which share a common vision of sustainable development and promote a more equal distribution of income and opportunities.

Handicrafts productions constitutes an important source for the generation of employment and income especially in rural areas.

CreArte benefits  indigenous producers, especially women, who elaborate products combining traditional techniques with contemporary design elements.
