Marrying the beauty of huipil embroidery and full grain leather we present our line of Custom Mayan Embroidery Messenger Bags handcrafted by Mayan weavers in Guatemala. Mayan embroidery is a precise textile weaving process that is curated by hand on the backstrap loom, and features various Mayan weaving designs and Mayan weaving patterns. This ancient weaving technique has been practiced for centuries in Guatemala and is a highly valued art form due to the complex Mayan symbols and intricate embroidery patterns. Each huipil symbol and design has a unique meaning to the artist and within the Mayan community and is paired with a full grain leather of your choice.
