About Mayamam Weavers

Mayamam Weavers specializes in crafting handwoven home goods and accessories designed for contemporary living, drawing inspiration from the vibrant colors, patterns, and traditional weaving techniques of Mayan culture. Their products not only boast exquisite beauty but also offer a delightful softness and exceptional durability, being crafted entirely from 100% cotton.

The brand's journey began in 2008, originating as a cooperative of talented women hailing from Cajolá, a Mayan town nestled in the western highlands of Guatemala. Fueled by the desire to overcome poverty and prevent family separation through migration to the U.S., these enterprising women joined hands to explore ways of generating local employment opportunities. Their efforts have not only borne fruit but also sowed the seeds of empowerment within their community.

The cooperative provides valuable resources to its members, including an on-site preschool, scholarships, and an afterschool learning enhancement program. Over the years, the women have honed their technical, artistic, and managerial skills, enabling them to operate independently and achieve remarkable growth.

As proud members of the Fair Trade Federation, Mayamam Weavers ensure that their creations not only reflect artistic excellence but also embody a sense of social responsibility, contributing positively to the lives of their artisans and communities alike.
