About Us
What is SÄQ?
Our brand SÄQ means light in Kaqchikel, a Mayan language spoken in a region of Guatemala. This Kaqchikel word is representative of the light we wanted to bring to Guatemalan families, and the light that it brings to my own personal life.
SÄQ is an ethical brand of Guatemalan products 100% handcrafted by Guatemalan artisans. We are proud to work directly with over 13 artisans - potters, carpenters, textilers, and others alike!
Who's behind SÄQ?
My name is Ana María, born and raised in Guatemala. It has always been a dream of mine to start a business that could support members of my country, and that also highlights the beautiful and immense talent of Guatemala.
I decided to make my dream come true and started SÄQ in June of 2020! This business has brought so much joy to me and my family's life. I am very proud that SÄQ ethically sources all products and materials with the help of artisans, and also ensures honest and fair production. My goal is to showcase Guatemala’s beauty and talent through our handmade products and the amazing artisans behind them! SÄQ not only supports my family and I, it is also providing artisans with job opportunities and empowering their passions and creations.
