In 1977, Amira Marion's parents set out from Ann Arbor, Michigan, planning to travel through Mexico and South America to Argentina. On the way they found themselves on Lake Atitlán in Guatemala's Western Highlands and were so enchanted that they rented a little house in the Indigenous village of Santa Catarina Palopó for the rest of the summer, collecting the first of the Guatemalan textiles that would fill Amira's childhood home.
Decades later, after studying at Parsons School of Design in New York and Paris, Amira booked a trip to Guatemala to research traditional motifs and weaving methods, and Archive New York was born. Its philosophy is to honor the integrity of Maya culture and textile heritage by carefully preserving the character of each original textile, pattern and design, while committing to fair-trade principles.
Each design begins with hunting down antique fabric samples, particularly from regions where traditional weaving is becoming increasingly rare. Archive New York then connects with artisans in those communities to bring the designs back to life through traditional weaving techniques.
