How are you making a difference with your purchase?
Many of our artisans live in the countryside of México so finding economic stability can be challenging due to the lack of safety, infrastructure, employment, education, and other factors. Although the communities have so much to offer, talents are severely overlooked. At con intención, we proudly partner with artisan women who are forced to travel in order to sell their goods, often bringing their entire family, without any financial guarantee.
con intención works directly with these women to ensure they may continue working from the comfort of their home, avoid the challenges and uncertainty of long-distance travel, and provide a means to steady income. Every purchase you make directly contributes to the livelihood and well-being of these skilled artisans and their communities.
