Handcrafted Wood Products from Nicaragua

Connecting U.S. customers with Nicaraguan artisans.

Rated 5 stars by customers

★★★★★

Tuani LLC was born from a desire to build a bridge between the incredible talent of Nicaraguan artisans and those seeking meaningful, high-quality gifts in the U.S. We are continually inspired by the skill and passion of local artisans—many working within family-run workshops, crafting beautiful pieces in wood, leather, and textiles.

We saw a clear opportunity: to replace forgettable corporate giveaways with handcrafted gifts that tell a story, carry a purpose, and create lasting impressions. That’s why Tuani offers both individual products—now available on Amazon—and custom-branded pieces for professionals and organizations who want their brand to stand out and do good.

“Tuani” means “cool” in Nicaraguan slang, and we believe it’s cool to give back. Every product supports fair wages for artisans and includes the donation of an educational kit to a child in need. Because at Tuani, kindness, culture, and craft come together—with purpose.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Buy One, Give One: The Tuani Way

At Tuani, every purchase has a purpose. For each wood piece you buy, we donate an education kit to a child in need in Nicaragua. These kits—filled with essential school supplies—are distributed twice a year, in January and July, just in time for the start of each school semester. It’s a simple way to turn your gift into an opportunity—and make a lasting impact beyond the product itself.

Crafted Responsibly, Sourced Sustainably

At Tuani, we’re committed to honoring the earth as much as the hands that shape our products. That’s why we work with legally sourced and environmentally sustainable wood, along with other ethically chosen materials. From harvest to final product, we strive to ensure our supply chain respects both people and planet—because true craftsmanship should never come at the cost of future generations.

Tradition. Talent. Tuani.

We work hand-in-hand with talented local artisans—some part of family-run workshops that have passed down their craft for generations. Each piece is uniquely made with care, reflecting the heart of Nicaraguan culture. We pay above fair wages and often bring back donations to support their communities, because we believe empowerment goes beyond the product.
