Supports women artisans

Many of the women artisans we work are located in rural areas and indigenous communities. They are able to work from their own homes, while taking care of their families. The cooperative groups and associations we work with often provide training programs, resources, and safe working conditions for partner artisans.

Uses traditional techniques

The materials we use are full-grain leather and organic cotton. We work with partner artisans experienced in crafted leather and cotton that are sustainable produced and locally sourced. We incorporate textiles that are handwoven by Mayan women, one thread at a time. Artisan women use the same traditional weaving techniques their ancestors have employed for centuries.
