Nica Cotton Hammock with Spreader Bar - Natural White

Love for Nica works with macrame and weaving artisans in Nicaragua, who hand-knot every hammock, wall hanging, and plant holder using techniques passed down through generations. Each piece is made by hand, so no two are exactly alike.

Half of the profit from every sale goes back to Nicaragua, supporting foundations that employ people with disabilities and protect ecosystems in the country's northern mountains. It's straightforward, fairly made craft with a clear, direct benefit to the makers' communities.
