“Knowing the craft of weaving changed my life.” -Filomena
Weaving a beautiful life in Guatemala The story of our newest artisan partners and their Laguna Silk Kimono is one that began centuries ago. Surrounded by the beauty of a lush volcanic valley in Guatemala, women of this quaint lakeside village still use the same ancient weaving methods of their Mayan ancestors. They boil pots filled with bright flowers, green leaves, and earthy barks to create their own unique shade of Guatemalan Indigo. For two days, artisans soak handfuls of silk threads and raw cotton in their rich, organic dyes and hang them to dry in the tropical sun. Each woman invests a week of skill and passion into creating a single Laguna Silk Kimono, crafting each piece with pride in her heritage and hope for her future.
