description

Sololá

Sololá celebrates the artistry of Guatemalan women weavers. Each purse upcycles a vintage huipil (a traditional woman's blouse woven on the backstrap loom) to create an individual statement. Turned inside-out, the huipils are an explosion of color and hand work.

Each purse is assembled by Guatemalan artisans in Antigua from textiles sourced at the famous Chichicastenango Market.
