Miriam and Debora find their main inspiration in geometry, designing a marvelous throw in red and white hues. Handloomed by Guatemalan artisans, this cotton accessory is a soft addition perfect for those winter days, with little fringes adding a sophisticated accent.

In lovely contrasting hues of chili and eggshell, fascinating rhombus patterns decorate this throw blanket from Guatemala. Daniela Murga exalts the traditional backstrap loom, weaving this throw entirely by hand from cotton. A dangling tassel decorates each corner of this throw.

Candy apple, camel, snow white and two shades of blue make up the palette for this splendid striped throw blanket featuring patterns inspired by traditional Mayan motifs. Members of the Women United for Artisan Development group in Guatemala hand-weave this accessory from 100% cotton to decorate your favorite spot at home with style.

An interpretation of the traditional textiles worn by women in Guatemala, this enchanting shawl combines red, black and white. It emulates the jaspe technique, similar to tie dye. Women of Aj Quen weave the cotton wrap by hand and finish the shawl with hand tied fringe.

On a mission to combat poverty in her small village and create opportunities for women in her community, Guatemalan artisan Mirian Zet dedicates herself to creating beaded jewelry as a means of income and generating employment for others around her. Growing up on the shores of breathtaking Lake Atitlan, Mirian took inspiration from the wildlife and forest that blankets the Guatemalan highlands. Turning her love of nature into art, Mirian crafts these extravagant waterfall earrings inspired by the striking macaws that soar through the pure mountain air, utilizing red, yellow, black and white glass beads on sterling silver hooks.
