Veracruz Guatemalan Textile Clutch

The indigo girl... Our Veracruz clutch from Guatemala is the PERFECT shade of  blue  that seems to go with just about everything. 

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.
