PRODUCT CUSTOMIZATION - LOVE YOUR BAG

We believe that each of us has been uniquely made with special talents, traits and expressions of self.  When you visit our website, you’ll find yourself drawn into a world of vibrant designs and rich heritage. Start by falling in love with a bag style and a huipil—each one a canvas woven with history and meaning by skilled Mayan artisans. As you explore, your imagination will come alive, guiding you to design a bag as unique and special as you are.

​

Our handwoven textiles are more than fabric—they’re a gateway to the intricate world of Mayan culture. Each pattern carries a secret significance, telling a story passed down through generations of backstrap weavers. With our preset bag designs, crafted in collaboration with local Indigenous designers, you have an array of stunning options to choose from, each one a testament to the artistry and tradition of our community.

​

This isn’t just about creating a bag; it’s about forging a connection. A connection to the art, the artisans, and the timeless craftsmanship of Mayan weaving and leatherwork. Together, we celebrate the skill, creativity, and dedication that brings your dream bag to life.

 

It’s not just a bag—it’s a celebration of culture, creativity, and collaboration. Let’s create something extraordinary together.
