Details

The traditional dresses worn in Santa Catarina Palopó inspire this original scarf from K'amolon K'i K'ojonel of Guatemala. It is woven of genuine bamboo rayon chenille on a traditional back strap loom, with techniques developed by earlier Maya people. Rich shades of blue, purple and turquoise captivate with intense harmony.

Since the threads are dyed by the women, please expect slight differences in the color tone and arrangement.

"Gorgeous Scarf, and Cozy Comfortable!"

This scarf is even more beautiful and shimmery in reality than the pictures show. I was pleased that there is so much gray along with the torquoise, blues, and purple because it matches well with many things and looks great with jeans. It is super soft, warm and comfortable, and a great value. I would love to see it in other jewel-tone colors as well, and would definitely buy more!

"Exquisite"

The colours in this beautiful poncho reminds me of the beautiful bioluminescent forest from my favourite film. It is as soft as silk to the touch and the shape reminds me of folded butterfly or moth wings. Absolutely exquisite. And the fact that it is eco friendly and supports wonderful artisans and their families brings a warmth to the heart that transforms this piece from beyond wearable art to a philosophy.
