These artisans create color-fast, easy-care fabrics and designs with the most beautiful hues, characteristic of this vibrant ancient culture. Our strict devotion to the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) has fostered thriving indigenous support and lifelong friendships with our team in Guatemala.
