These bookmarks are not just beautiful; they are also ethically made. Handmade in El Salvador, our Floral Book Marks are produced under fair trade principles.

The women of Artecomasagua, the organization behind these bookmarks, collect leaves, flowers, and plants from their surroundings. They dry the collected petals and leaves between the pages of old books, preserving their beauty. With a little wood glue, these natural elements are transformed into stunning bookmarks and gift cards. Each piece is a testament to the artisans' dedication and creativity, making every bookmark a one-of-a-kind treasure.
Artecomasagua was formed by a group of women entrepreneurs in the Comasagua area of El Salvador, who sought to create a sustainable livelihood in the wake of an economic crisis in coffee cultivation. By working with local wildflowers, they not only create beautiful products but also contribute to the preservation of their environment. The artisans work in a safe and healthy environment, fostering a sense of community and pride in their craft.
For many women in Artecomasagua, this work has transformed their lives. They now have more control over their futures, allowing them to care for their families while pursuing their passions. As Guadalupe, one of the artisans, shares, “Now I have more control over my life. I can be with my family and work under my own rules.” This empowerment is echoed by Ana Cecilia, who finds pride and self-esteem in her work, stating, “Work makes me feel important as a person. I dream of flowers and create with my imagination.”
Our Floral Book Mark makes an ideal gift for book lovers, nature enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates handmade artistry. It’s not just a bookmark; it’s a piece of art that tells a story. Whether for a birthday, holiday, or just because, this bookmark is sure to delight anyone who receives it. Plus, it serves as a reminder of the beauty of nature and the importance of supporting fair trade practices.
To ensure the longevity of your Floral Book Mark, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this may cause the colors to fade. If it gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. With proper care, your bookmark will remain a cherished item for years to come.
