Beadwork

The Mayans of Guatemala are one of the last native people on earth whose ancient culture has not yet been completely assimilated into the western world. Over the last few decades the world has come to love Mayan crafts. While products and colors have been modified to meet the demands of the non-Mayan consumer. It still gets created as they have for centuries. Our fair trade business helps keep the Mayans gainfully employed doing what they have done for centuries, in their ancestral villages and in their native tongue, so they can go on being "Mayan" for centuries to come. We can help preserve their culture and traditions for future generations. This is just a sample of what we have, contact us and tell us what you want.

Our Mayan beaders are women aged 30 to 60. The women have their own businesses, and work out of their homes in western Guatemala as they have always done. Handmade goods previously sold at a local, Mayan market are now being distributed through out the world. The products and the production techniques utilized in their manufacture are essentially the same as centuries before. We are proud to offer these carefully crafted items that speak a rich heritage, great skill and dedication.

Beautiful work at great prices.
