Meet the Artist

COMPARTE's mission is to improve the lives of economically struggling workshops and artisan groups throughout Chile by promoting and exporting the handicrafts they design and create, as well as working with the artists to improve their business practices and continually develop new products that stay true to their traditions.

In Chile today, individual artists and small workshops face significant challenges in finding international markets and exporting their products, on top of the difficulties of promoting and distributing their work domestically. COMPARTE currently works with more than 400 artisan groups and exports to nearly 30 countries around the world, helping these artisans to overcome these challenges and bring premium Chilean handicrafts to the world. We act as a proactive link between these diverse artist groups, and the distinct international markets where we work through various distribution channels to access the consumers who will purchase and appreciate these unique products. A key aspect of COMPARTE's our continuing success in this role is our commitment to Total Client Service. COMPARTE understands that our customers have demanding clients, and success requires total commitment from every party along the supply chain. We are also proud of the outstanding reputation we hold within the Chilean artisan and business community, based on the quality of the services we provide and our long tradition of fair trade. The prices we pay our artisans are determined by the artisans. By purchasing from COMPARTE, importers, distributors and retailers bring high-quality, unique and attractive items to local markets, while at the same time improving the living conditions of our producers by paying fair prices and stimulating justice in the workplace of the developing world.
