About the Artisans

The fabric in this piece is handwoven by Don Manuel & Family in Nahuala, Guatemala, using a traditional weaving loom passed down through generations. Manuel de Jesus, his family, and the entire village just outside of Nahuala weave not only as a source of income but also to keep their culture and traditions alive. 

 

 

Then this piece is sewn by the founder, Caro Arias, in Wendell, NC. Caro has been sewing since she was 12 years old and fell in love with this skill because it brought her closer to her mom, a highly skilled seamstress. 

Fabric Content

The artisanal fabrics are 100% cotton.
