Guatemala Wholesale: Handcrafted Traditions Since 1991
Since 1991, Guatemala Wholesale has shared the color,
creativity, and craftsmanship of the Guatemalan highlands with customers
around the world. What began as a family business rooted in a love for
Guatemala and its people has grown into a source for handcrafted
accessories, apparel, and beadwork, serving both wholesale buyers and
individual shoppers.
Skilled Artisan Work & Heritage
Weaving and beadwork have deep roots in Mayan culture, carrying traditions,
artistry, and meaning across generations. Our products are handcrafted
by skilled artisans in western Guatemala—primarily women aged 30 to 60
who operate independent businesses from their homes.
By bringing their work to a wider market, we help provide income for
families in their ancestral villages. These partnerships support artisans
in continuing their craft, maintaining their traditional way of life,
and passing their native languages and cultural heritage on to the
next generation.

A Little About Our Beadwork
We use Preciosa glass beads from the Czech Republic,
chosen for their quality and rich colors. Guatemalan artisans bring
these materials to life through intricate patterns and careful
handwork, giving each creation its own character.
From Guatemala to Your Door
We distribute from Pinellas County, Florida, making
it convenient for U.S. customers to order handcrafted goods from
Guatemala. We also work with buyers on custom designs and larger
orders, helping them find products suited to their stores and customers.
Whether you are stocking a shop or choosing something for yourself,
our focus is the same: thoughtful service, dependable quality, and
lasting relationships with the artisans whose work makes our
collection possible.
