Hecho is a curated emporium of ethically made artisan works that marry contemporary design with traditional processes. Based in Oaxaca, Mexico, this project s foundation began to take shape when Ehren Seeland, Founder and Creative Director of Hecho, was regularly travelling the globe for international development work. With this, she was able to connect with a number of government agencies, NGOs and skilled artisans throughout Asia, Europe and Latin America.

Inspiration arose from the handmade pieces and artisan stories that she gathered while on the road, along with the recognition of a desire to share these remarkable experiences within the context of a sustainable business built on partnerships, respect and transparency.

A small group of hand-selected artisans in Mexico and Guatemala serve as the base of the Hecho collaborative. These are incredibly hardworking, knowledgeable and creative individuals who are dedicated to their respective crafts, and upholding family and cultural traditions. Hecho is committed to transparency, fair pay and ethical sourcing practices.
