We are sincerely proud to offer our customers products that are beautiful, unique and simply adorable. Our products are handmade by small family groups who work with us in collaboration to design and produce clothing and accessories for children and some even for mommies. Many of our items are made from the same fabric that is used to make the traditional clothing worn by the indigenous people in Guatemala. Our pants and booties are 100% recycled!
The Huipil [Wee-peel] is a Spanish term for a Maya woman's traditional blouse. It is the most personal, communicative and significant part of her “traje” or costume, and the most important representation of the culture's weaving heritage. The Corte [Cor-tay] is the traditional Mayan women's skirt usually woven on a treadle loom by men. The huipil and corte are universal elements of every woman's traje. They are used to identify the specific village of the wearer, her social and marital status, religious background and beliefs, wealth, authority and individual personality.
Many items in our clothing line are made from genuine huipil and corte materials that we find in the wonderful markets in Guatemala, and some of our products even use pieces of recycled huipil and corte which the biofriendly customer may find especially appealing.
