Details

"The colors on this scarf are inspired by the cocoa beans, which the antique Maya believed was a gift from the god Hun-Hunahpú," explain the women weavers of Maya Traditions. Working on the back strap loom, they weave delicious shades of brown with ochre, green, and orange contrasts, and then finish the fringe by hand. The scarf's rich cotton and rayon blend creates a shimmering effect.

“Great material and colors”

This is a lovely mat bag, well made and pretty. Only issue I had was that my new mat is thicker than usual and does not fit this bag well even when rolled up very tightly. An extra 2 inched in diameter would have served to fit more mat brands.

“Perfectly Sized & Well Made”

I was looking for a small, zippered pouch to keep a variety of items contained in my tote as I traveled. These work beautifully for phone and IPad cords, keys, and small travel items.
