"I'm Julia, founder and CEO of pakilia. My "International Management" course took me to Mexico for two years, where the idea for pakilia was born in 2011. I love the country, the people and the culture from the bottom of my heart. My job is to build a bridge between the worlds, as me and my family are at home in both Germany and Mexico. The deep friendship and trust of the artisan families in Mexico, the many enthusiastic customers and our great pakilia team, fill me with joy and gratitude. With pakilia, I live the dream every day of being able to combine my passion and my profession."

Miriam Müller
"With pakilia we have fulfilled a dream: the dream of self-determined work and, above all, of a job with a lot of meaning! I work mainly in our office in Freiburg and coordinate logistics, personnel and sales - and put out fires wherever there is a fire :) (fortunately only in a figurative sense). To switch off, I enjoy exercise in the fresh air and time with my gang of rascals: my husband, my two sons and our two dogs."

"I'm Nadine and I've been with Pakilia since 2021. It gives me pleasure to make a contribution to fair trade in my work. Personally, I appreciate real handicrafts very much and am always fascinated anew by the outstanding art behind the individual pieces of jewelry. I am happy to be part of this whole and hope that pakilia will reach more and more people in the future and that these great artists of life and craftsmanship will be guaranteed an existence basis that is so self-evident for us here. I think it's incredibly valuable that artists like those from pakilia are given a reach and a voice and that their work is also given a stage here in Germany."

"I've been part of the team at Pakilia since 2022. In addition to my philosophy studies, working at pakilia creates a good practical balance for me. I particularly appreciate the support of the great artisans in Mexico and am happy to be part of a company that values real craftsmanship. With the work of the artisans, their great creations and the reuse of silver, the focus is shifted away from consumption to sustainability and real art, which for me is a valuable aspect in our time. In addition to the philosophy of the company, I also really appreciate the great team, with whom everyday work is always something special."

"Since studying abroad in Mexico, I have a "medio corazón mexicano"! :) In my work for pakilia, I think it's brilliant to be a "mouthpiece" for our artisans in Mexico and to convey to our customers what our pakilia heart beats for! I am always happy to experience how much appreciation was shown to the work of our silversmiths and how much willingness there is to support Fair Trade and thus make the world a little bit better! At pakilia, I am the contact person for all your customer concerns :) I am also on the road for pakilia from time to time at our sales events such as trade fairs or craft markets! I am happy to advise you, help you and find a suitable solution for every problem!"

"I will support you with all your questions about the pakilia silver treasures, advise you and - if at all needed - I can also be found in person at trade fairs or markets!"
Aleksandra discovered her love for Mexico in 2009 during her semester abroad! She loves the language, the diversity of the culture, the food and the Mexican hospitality - “immediately you win not only friends, but a family!” The direct line in the cooperation with the pakilia artisans is incredibly valuable for her. The fair trade principles are very important at pakilia. She is a great asset for our company, because she is the direct contact person for you as a customer and for our artisans as a manufacturer.
