With its chic and unexpected combination of colors, our Pacaya clutch is all you need to make an unforgettable outfit. Made from the most exquisitely detailed Guatemalan fabric, the yellow and green shades of cotton threads are interwoven with a metallic thread in a process that is largely dying out among younger weavers. We are doing our best to encourage them to preserve this textile tradition! 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.
