Shipping costs

Please note that shipping costs are not inflated.
It is expensive to ship from here in Guatemala.

Some sellers offer free or reduced shipping simply by inflating the cost of hotsell the item being shipped. I do not.

I believe in offering beautiful, worn , vintage pieces at the cheapest rate possible, whilst paying the ladies selling them, a good and fair price.

I strongly believe in fair trade practices and when traveling to many of the isolated villages, my friend Ingrid Aracely Pocon , who is cackchiquel Mayan travels with me, to interact with the ladies selling their garments in their native tongues ensuring a fair price.

Quite often it is possible to ship more than one item for the lowest price from the shipping company. Please ask and I will be happy to help
