CAROLINA is one of a kind, meaning that you will never find another one like her. She is unique like you! She is not just a wallet; she is a piece of art that goes with you everywhere. A special wallet for a special lady! 

 

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

      Foot Loom - Guatemalan Textile
       
      The textile on this beautiful bag was crafted by Mayan artisans and has been woven on a foot loom. The foot loom was introduced to the Guatemalan weaver by the Spanish artisans after the conquest. Back then, it was possible to increase textile production with foot loom. In the face of the growing demand of the Spaniards for new clothes and blankets, it was one of the most important contributions.

      The way it works is that the rods are hanging from the wooden frame, connected to the pedals (long pieces of wood under the loom), which actuate the interlocking mechanism of the warp threads. Through the pedal loom, beautiful textiles of larger dimensions than those produced with a handwoven backstrap loom are obtained and then used to make various items such as tablecloths, handbags, hammocks, swings and more. This method is still quite manual, however, it can produce more textiles than the backstrap loom and is less time-consuming.
