<<~ GUATEMALAN TEXTILES ~>>

In Mayan society it is the responsibility of the women to maintain the traditions of weaving and embroidering. It is more than the creation of these textiles. The act of wearing woven and embroidered clothing, huipils (blouses) and cortes (skirts), is very important and considered a way of preserving of their culture. In addition to keeping their artisan work alive by passing down the art form of weaving from generation to generation for hundreds of years, women are able to sell their hand-woven and hand-embroidered fabrics and textiles to empower themselves.

The traditional dress is called “traje” which dually functions as clothing and as a statement of cultural and personal identity. The huipil and corte are universal elements of every traje and every item is a one-of-a-kind piece of art, significant hotsell to Mayan culture.

HUIPIL
The Huipil is a Mayan, square-cut blouse that is hand woven on a back-strap loom. To make one huipil, the weaver must spend several hours a day on her knees weaving, over the course of several months. The loom is made of 5 parallel sticks and stretched out between the weaver and a pole or tree. It is portable and thus allows the women to work between completing household chores and taking care of her children. Each huipil is uniquely decorated by the weaver and adored with various imagery from Mayan culture and myth.

CORTE
The Corte is a Mayan, wrap around skirt. It is a cut of cloth typically thinner, wider, and longer than the huipil. The corte is made with a foot-loom and requires more strength to work than the back-strap loom and because of this it is typically the men who weave the cortes. As the cortes are woven, each string is dyed to create the patterns and images that adorn them.

FAJA
To hold up the cloth skirt, women use a “faja,” a long and embroidered belt. Some fajas have simple designs and patterns while others are elaborately adorned.

Each item is handmade. There may be slight flaws which we believe adds to the character fo the piece. All fabric is second hand, so it's already lived a life that may show up.

All fabric is pre-washed with soap nuts which have a distinct smell that we love. We recommend putting your piece in the dryer if you want to freshen it up. Because the original fabric is hand woven and made for washing by hand, we don't recommend using a washing machine unless you put your item in a garment bag on the delicate cycle.
