What is a Huipil?

Huipil (pronounced Wee-peel) is the Spanish term for the traditional blouse worn by Mayan women. These garments are more than just clothing; they are a significant part of a woman's costume, representing her village, social and marital status, religious background, and wealth. The Luna Rococo Handbag utilizes these beautiful textiles, giving them a new life while preserving the cultural significance behind them.

De Colores Artisan Story

De Colores Art is a local business dedicated to empowering the indigenous Maya population in Chichicastenango, Guatemala. Over the past decade, this region has become a hub for traditional textile products, yet many artisans face limited job opportunities. De Colores addresses this issue by providing free training to individuals eager to learn a trade, employing both men and women in the production of textile goods.

The company recognizes the importance of cultural preservation and community support. De Colores invests in local education by funding schools and offering scholarships to deserving students. This commitment to social responsibility ensures that the artisans can thrive while maintaining their cultural heritage.

Environmental Responsibility

In addition to supporting local communities, De Colores is committed to environmental sustainability. The use of recycled materials in the production of the Luna Rococo Handbag helps reduce waste and showcases traditional knitting patterns that are often overlooked in modern textiles. By choosing recycled Huipils, De Colores not only preserves Mayan culture but also contributes to a more sustainable future.

Communities collaborate in the production process, with men focusing on larger textiles and women specializing in embroidery, crochet, and macramé. While sewing machines may be used for assembly, every component of the handbag is handmade and hand-embroidered from high-quality cotton, wool, or silk.
