In 1977, two travelers from Michigan found themselves enchanted by the shores of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala's Western Highlands. What began as a brief stop on the way to Argentina became a summer of discovery among indigenous villages, collecting textiles that would later inspire a daughter's calling.
Decades later, that young woman returned to Guatemala to research the very weaving traditions her parents had admired. The artisan works with indigenous craftspeople across Guatemala, Mexico, and India, carefully preserving textile patterns and techniques in danger of disappearing. Each collaboration honors Mayan cultural heritage while providing fair wages through traditional craft.
From hunting down rare antique fabric samples to connecting with village cooperatives, the maker bridges past and present. The mission remains simple: ensure these timeless traditions continue to thrive in the hands of skilled artisans, one carefully woven thread at a time.
