everyday tops

Everyday life in Tactic, Alta Verapaz is surrounded by the world of nature. Presented by Miriam and Debora, this beautiful cushion cover showcases the motifs of Maya huipil blouses worn there. Birds, deer and human figures mingle with geometric motifs in black and red cotton, all created by hand on the backstrap loom. Hand-knotted macramé fringe surrounds the cover, which has an opening at the back to insert the cushion.

Artisan Sonia Solís thinks of her dear Costa Rica while crafting this sweet cotton coin purse, made for the everyday. The bag's interior is lined with cotton and has two open-top pockets, while the outside has a zipper closure, a stunning cyan-toned geometric pattern, a little side strap and a cute embroidered floral motif that combines green, pink and yellow hues.

This elegant ring has all the makings of an everyday favorite. Pablo Castellanos handcrafts a textured band from 925 sterling silver and tops it with a squared Guatemalan black jade gemstone.

The Guatemalan artisan considers jewelry making the best gift that his grandparents gave him. His work is centered around completely handmade designs featuring traditional techniques and involving no machines.
