Veracruz Guatemalan Textile Clutch
The indigo girl... Our Veracruz clutch from Guatemala is the PERFECT shade of navy blue / indigo that seems to go with just about anything.
How we'd wear it:
For Fall /Winter: pair it with chocolate brown, maroon and grey - or how great would it be with a cool mustard color?
For Spring/ Summer: you know it would be your go-to with white jeans and your favorite white sundress!
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!
