We partner with Maya women in Guatemala. These master weavers work on traditional back-strap looms, and hand-dye the threads using a “secret method,” resulting in unique fabrics. The women then pass these centuries-old cultural techniques on to their daughters.
We are fair traders. With a simple buying choice, you and your customers give socially marginalized Maya families a better future. Fair trade means paying living wages for women’s and indigenous people’s work, supporting healthy work places and sustainable production, and promoting open business relationships. This fair business approach includes our relationship with you, our retail buyers. Come to Ballroom A-105 and check out our superb, contemporary and chic fashion!
