"Beautiful pattern, beautifully made"





I bought Ancestral Diamonds to bring some color to my office. (It's so gray up here in Minnesota for so many months of the year!) Beautiful rug, Size is a little bigger than a standard 4x6, which worked out well in my space. Thank you for this lovely rug.

"Zapotec beauty"





It most probably is, like all others I bought from you, a joy to see and to own. It was a gift for a dear friend in Italy. Unfortunately DHL screwed up the shipping early on sending it around all over Europe and the US. By the time it arrived in Italy a week later Covid-19 had caught up with Italy and it now sits in a DHL warehouse in Bergamo, unattended.. If my friend will ever get it is a good question..

"Absolutely gorgeous"





This rebozo is a stunning piece. I am so proud every time I get to use it or demonstrate it. It arrived very quickly, wrapped beautifully, and even had a note about the woman who made it. Well worth the investment and I send anyone who asks about it to this site.
