MARKETPLACES: A NECESSARY EVIL?

MARKETPLACES: A NECESSARY EVIL?

Posted by Constantino Urzaiz on

At CIELO Hammocks, we have made an important decision.
As of today, we are no longer selling on marketplaces.
After more than 15 years on Amazon, Etsy, and Mercado Libre, and being pioneers in bringing the Yucatecan hammock to these platforms, we realized something essential:

That path took us away from what truly matters.

For years, marketplaces promised growth. But the reality was different.

  • High commissions.
  • Unfair competition.
  • Counterfeits.
  • Soulless products.
  • And above all, a growing disconnect between those who create and those who buy.

As platforms grew, the value of craftsmanship slowly faded.

 

OUR DECISION
Today, at CIELO, we choose a different path.

  • We choose independence.
  • We choose fair trade.
  • We choose to return to our roots.
  • We believe in a direct, honest, and transparent relationship.
  • We believe every hammock has a story, and that story should not be lost in an algorithm.

 

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
CIELO Hammocks is the only hammock certified by the Fair Trade Federation, ensuring ethical processes, fair pay for artisans, high-quality materials, and conscious production.
This is not just a hammock.
It’s a better way of doing things.
BUY DIRECT
Now more than ever, buying direct matters.
When you choose CIELO without intermediaries, you directly support the makers, receive authentic quality with no imitations, and become part of a more just system.
