Hiptipico Bags: The Poster Child for Social Responsibility

Hiptipico’s bags are as colorful and unique as their reinvesting process. A portion of their profits are reinvested into women cooperatives, family shops and Mayan “handicrafters”. They “naturally energize” the local economy while allowing access to foreign markets.

Hiptipico is extremely open about their manufacturing processes, describing how each aspect of their products are made (see here). They are incredibly thorough, from their dyes to their fair wages program. It appears that Hiptipico is the poster child for social responsibility.

The vision for these ethically-produced, artisan-level bags is to allow local artisans to sell their handmade products to a larger global market. This provides a steady income for local businesses and their families.

100% of the Profits made go to high-need artisans who handmade all the products.

By working directly with multiple vendors, cooperatives, and families in Guatemala, the money made from Hiptipico products provide additional revenue into the local economy.

Hiptipico pays a fair wage based on the cost of materials and hours of labor to the local artisans.

Each Hiptipico product is 100% authentic and ethically-produced.
