“People do not buy goods and services.
They buy relations, stories, and magic.”

Ethical Fashion Guatemala features Maya textiles characterized by bright, vivid colors and patterns.
They are woven, created originally with local plant fibers, with cotton or wool.
Many Mayan weavers today still use a traditional backstrap loom, which is a wearable contraption, to weave the threads into fabric.
The loom to make a backstrap.
The long strings (called the “warp”) are each tied to the top loom bar, pass through the slot or hole in the heddle, and are then tied to the lower loom bar.
Mayan Fashion in Guatemala
Is a business
There are only a few places left in the world where you can meet and interact with Mayan Artisans and experience their creative art.
This is an art form passed down for centuries, today tourists come and barter for their handmade products.
Before you purchase any products from an online store featuring Guatemala products think about the fact in most cases the Artisans are paid a fraction of what you are paying.
Jobs for Artisans, not donations, supporting the Mayan Culture of Guatemala.
