WE ARE COMMITTED TO SOURCING SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AND SUPPORTING LOCAL COMMUNITIES, BY PROVIDING STABLE EMPLOYMENT for THE PEOPLE
WE WORK with.

Wool is the raw material at the heart and soul of our work. To meet the volume needed for our projects, we collaborate with the nonprofit El Camino de Los Altos, based in San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas.

El Camino de Los Altos brings together 130 women textile artisans, whose skills and traditions enrich every piece we create. Together, we have developed a unique range of wool tones used throughout our textiles. Most recently, Madda Studio worked with the association to secure funding for the Wool Project through Los Amigos de Arte Popular. These funds help expand the group of spinners in Bautista Chico, a Chamula ethnic community within El Camino de Los Altos, providing tools, training and raw materials to support their business.

We know that the process of local economic development is gradual, and we are dedicated to nurturing it step by step. It is deeply important to us that our processes and creations have a positive impact on the people and communities behind them — and that the artisans’ skills are valued both within their communities, as well as in the international market.
