Ethical Fashion Guatemala Artists | Guatemala Mayan Artists

Few websites selling Guatemalan handmade goods have had much of an impact on the economic growth of Guatemalan artisans.

Why?
The majority of customers are unaware that middlemen, brokers, distributors, and Fair trade Organizations control the channels of sales for the artisans.

I also notice that some websites that profess to promote Mayan artisans use dark and sad images of the artisans as a sales tactic.

All of that being said, we’d like to show you a few of our Artisans, not that we have any favorites.

Other of our Artisans have discovered their images online and claimed affiliation with them.

When we started Ethical Fashion Guatemala five years ago we had a handful of one-of-a-kind handmade products.

Today we have hundreds, representing Artisans not only in Guatemala but throughout Central America.

The products and pictures on this page are samples of previous works our Family of Artisans has designed for others.

Donations are not sustainable, therefore we do not accept them or advocate for them.

Instead, we have always tried to give artisans a method to sell directly to consumers, and our DHL Express global contact satisfies that need.

In the Maya civilization, textile production has historically been dominated by women, and textiles played a vital role in both ancient Maya art and religious beliefs.

Lake Atitlan Textile Weavers Lema’ Weaving Association of San Juan La Laguna Featured Work

Tucked on the southern shoreline of Lake Atitlan is Lema’ Weaving Association Lake Atitlan Guatemala in an Indigenous village along the shores of Lake Atitlan.

Of the ten thousand residents in San Juan, 95 percent of the population is comprised of Tz’utujil, one of the 21 Maya ethnic groups that live in Guatemala.

The Tz’utujil are noted for their continuing adherence to traditional cultural and religious practices.

Lake Atitlan Textile Weavers follow the traditional dyeing technique that the Lema’ Weaving Association uses in San Juan La Laguna using dyes or colorants derived from locally found plants, trees, and insects in the Lake Atitlan area.

The roots, bark, leaves, berries, wood, and insects each produce a different color and hue. A few of the plants that are used are coconut shells, pericón, pepper, purple basil, hibiscus flowers, and achiote, among many others.
