Luisa Guatemalan Caftan - White and Blue
The case for the caftan! Timelessly chic, effortlessly cool, and confidently comfortable... Bohemian elegance at its best. Every wardrobe (and every suitcase) needs a piece that is as relaxed as it is stylish. Our Guatemalan caftans are just that - take them straight from the beach to cocktails. We LOVE them styled over jeans and a cami to keep the vacation vibes going back in the city.
Based on ancient Mayan spinning and dyeing techniques, Guatemalan textiles are an enduring link to a rich cultural past. Weavers today (mostly women) still derive colors for their threads from vegetables and minerals and continue to use the original Mayan loom, also known as a backstrap loom, that consists of rods, rope, and a strap that is worn around the weaver’s waist! With skill and creativity, these Mayan weavers preserve their traditional craft techniques while creating an income for their families.
At Larkin Lane, Lark hand selects authentic textiles and collaborates with Guatemalan artisans in the design of each product. Your purchase supports these craftsmen and women. Thank you for the role you play in keeping global textile traditions alive!
