Meet the Artisans

Buy Direct From Guatemala Textile Artisans

Purchasing directly from the Guatemalan artisan’s sector creates jobs, increases incomes, and promotes cultural heritage. Behind agriculture, artisan activity is the second-largest employer in the developing world.

Organizing and harnessing the power of this sector to increase sales and efficiency has the potential to create jobs, increase incomes, and foster sustainable community development. Investing in Guatemalan artisans also preserves unique Mayan cultural traditions that in many places are at risk of being replaced by lower quality, machine-made products.

Hand-dyed textiles

For most of us, the small villages, perched on the shores of Lake Atitlan Guatemala, wouldn’t be considered a global manufacturing hub. But a dynamic economic sector thrives there, and in other communities throughout the remote Highland of Guatemala where workshops buzz with painters, potters, carpenters, and weavers.

Applying skills passed down from previous generations of the Mayan culture, these artisans are among those at the heart of a sector now equivalent to the world’s fourth-largest economy.

Fashion designers, wholesalers, and consumers through this website can buy direct from the artisans with transparency.
