Our beaded earrings are super-popular! They are handmade by Maya women artisans using the highest quality Czech glass beads and crystals, durable professional beading thread, and stainless steel earring wires. Czech glass beads, when viewed under a microscope, refract light in complicated ways, leading them to be quite vibrant. They are durable, colorfast, and smooth.

Our stainless steel earring wires are nickel-free and considered hypo-allergenic for the vast majority of people.

Beading in Guatemala expanded greatly after a beading artist came from California several decades ago and started a beading group in Santiago Atitlán, training the women to make high quality beaded items. A number of the women who worked with her have started their own groups. Now there is so much beading done in Guatemala that there are bead importers and wholesalers in Guatemala City.

Our ember woven graduation stole is a bold, meaningful piece for graduation ceremonies and worship services alike. Woven in Guatemala from 100% cotton on a traditional pedal loom, it features traditional jaspe (ikat) weaving—a time-honored technique that creates distinctive patterning woven directly into the fabric.

This colorway blends gold/mustard, maroon, and deep dark navy, grounded by black weft yarn for extra depth and contrast. Unlike our brocaded styles, Ember is made from fully handwoven fabric, giving it rich texture and an heirloom-quality feel.

Finished with a V-neck that lays flat on the back for a comfortable fit, this stole is also completed with a clean, tailored V-finish at the ends (no fringe), for a polished ceremonial look. Handmade by UPAVIM and Fair Trade.

Details:

• Length: 53" per side (top of neck to bottom of V) / ~106" total end-to-end
• Width: 4" each side
• 100% Cotton (handwoven on a pedal loom)
• Traditional jaspe (ikat) weave
• V-neck lays flat for a comfortable fit
• Finished ends (no fringe)

Our scarves are gorgeous, comfortable, of the highest quality, and affordable. They drape beautifully. Suitable for wearing as an outdoor winter scarf or indoor ornamental scarf. They are colorfast and the chenille will not rub off onto your clothing.

The process of making a scarf is labor intensive. The 100% bamboo chenille is wound into skeins on a hand-powered machine, then hand-dyed with dyes imported from the US. The yarn is then warped onto a warping board. The scarf is then handwoven on a traditional backstrap loom, a process which often takes a full day of work. The chenille is made from sustainably-grown organic bamboo thread in China.

Product Care
Hand wash in cold water with mild soap such as hair or baby shampoo, lay flat until almost dry, then “fluff up” briefly (three minutes) with a fabric softener sheet in a dryer set on low-heat gentle.

Always use fabric softener and minimize agitation and heat. Agitation will eventually remove the pile from the chenille and the tassels, and tangle the tassels. Heat could shrink your item.

For creases or a too-worn look, freshen up by spritzing with water and drying as above. Or hang in a steamy bathroom.

The fabric has already been washed by hand and dried as above, in Guatemala.

Or you may professionally dry clean your scarf.
