GUATEMALAN MADE | GENDER NEUTRAL ‣ 100% hand-spun Guatemalan cotton ‣ Weaving technique: back-strap loom ‣ Dyed naturally with plants ‣ Handmade in Guatemala ‣ All products are entirely made by hand, there will always be a slight difference in color and dimensions We have specialists in each part of the intricate jaspe process. Hundreds of people do the tying and dyeing work, but only a few specialize in labor tying. These few are “amarradores,” men and women who tie labor jaspe that originate from amarrador lineage. Our amarradores first arrange the threads, then tie them into their designs. After dyeing, the threads are realigned before weaving. These first few steps are critical to the striking clarity of the handwoven patterns. Finally, once the textiles are dyed and woven, we send them to our impeccably skilled sewers who transform the fabric into our unique Jaspe Jackets.

JASPE JACKET

Our Ixchel headband symbolizes our Diosa Ixchel. ‣ 100% hand-spun Guatemalan cotton‣ Weaving technique: back-strap loom‣ Dyed naturally with plants ‣ Handmade in Guatemala‣ All products are entirely made by hand, there will always be a slight difference in color and dimensions La Diosa Ixchel is the Mayan Goddess of weaving, fertility, femininity and the moon. With a provenance in Guatemala from the year 1500 B.C., she represents many aspects of life. She's symbolized in diverse ways such as a beautiful young woman holding a rabbit and an old woman using a back-strap loom as she weaves. Our Ixchel headband is inspired by our Mayan Goddess who wore a coiled snake headdress. Snakes are a powerful symbol within Mayan culture. In their primal form, they represent the surge of life that manifests all things on earth. Those who master snake energy control the forces of creation + destruction. Most importantly, they understand the secrets of existence.
