Handcrafted by independent artisans in Boyacá, Colombia
Sumercé Artisans is a fair trade organization that supports independent artists in Boyacá, Colombia, focusing on the thirteen towns within the province of Sugamuxi. Uncover the stories of our artisans, their craftsmanship, and the rich tapestry of their hometowns by selecting their icons on the map.
Fair Trade in Small Batches
Our artisan partners take pride in what they do. Each handcrafted product represents generations of knowledge and skill and a lifetime of love and commitment by the artisans. We establish lifelong relationships with our artisans, and operate in small batch productions with the proceeds going back into their community.
Environmental Projects
We work with nature, not against it. Our products are not mass-produced in a factory, and our independent artisans take care in sustainable production practices. In collaboration with Fundación Montecito, 10% of the proceeds fund environmental and education programs within the communities around Lake Tota.
Prints with Purpose
Our Prints with Purpose initiative makes it easy for photographers, painters, and other artists in Sugamuxi to continue doing what they love. Every digital artwork is printed and packaged by Sumercé Artisans, and allows our artists to earn passive income and expand their market abroad.
Sumercé Artisans x BookArt Bookmarks
Handcrafted and polished by our artisans of Morcá, Muisca torteros are masterpieces made entirely from coal. These torteros stand as a testament to the ancient heritage and rich cultural legacy of the Muisca people. In collaboration with BookArt Bookmarks, we are thrilled to offer torteros as elastic bookmarks, designed to accompany you on your literary adventures while also sharing the history of the Muisca civilization.
