Mercado Global

WHAT WE DO

For nearly two decades, Mercado Global has transformed the lives of Indigenous women and their families in Central America. We thoughtfully design fashion accessories in partnership with our artisans and world-renowned retailers⁠⁠ —empowering the women who weave our collections and inspiring the women who wear them. Together, we have worked to make the fashion world to be more ethical, sustainable, and just⁠ —for all of us.

Mercado Global is a Brooklyn-based accessory brand and non-profit that empowers rural Latin American women to become entrepreneurs. Through donor-funded business education and leadership programs, we help women create community businesses to support themselves and their families. By designing collections for the international market while using traditional local weaving techniques, we are changing the status quo for women, communities, and the industry.
