CAROLINA LARGE WALLET
DESCRIPTION
UNIQUENESS – HANDMADE
Each of Mayalla’s products is beautifully unique. We are proud that no piece will be exactly the same as another since they are all handmade. A product that is not factory-fabricated, that has the human touch and is special, a real masterpiece! Please be aware that some of our products may have natural markings and imperfections, which should not be considered a fault. These imperfections make the piece special and human art, they are appreciated.
ETHICAL IMPACT
We support the Guatemalan community by purchasing their beautiful handmade textiles for fair prices from the weavers on the local markets. It is very important to us that they are paid fairly for their hard work. That’s why the artisans themselves set their prices. We are giving you - the consumer - the opportunity to show social responsibility by shopping in Ethical Stores like Mayalla. Read more here.
SUSTAINABILITY
We have sustainably sourced all our textiles from our local weavers in Guatemala on the markets in Chichicastenango, Antigua and Panajachel.
EMBRACING CULTURES
We want to show the world the rich Guatemalan culture by sharing its indigenous handcrafted fabrics and traditions with the world. And explaining the meanings of their traditional textiles and other ancient traditions. Many people have never heard of Guatemala, so we see it as our challenge to change that!

TEXTILE
Nahualá is in the Sololá department of Guatemala. The town is known as Santa Catarina Nahualá, in honor of the town's patron saint, Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
The huipil is made of three panels, includes a feathered snake in the shoulders, animals or humans figures.
Another figure appearing in the Nahuala huipil is the double-headed eagle in the center. The weavers from Nahualá intentionally let threads bleed onto the white base fabric.
For many years, Ladinos and foreigners were not permitted to enter Nahuala, and all attempts to buy land or set up missions were rejected. That's why the vast territory is under the control of Nahualeños, the "people of Nahualá". Around about 2/3 of the land.
