Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom using the rare falsería technique, this one-of-a-kind sham is a true expression of master craftsmanship. Once common in Guatemala, falsería is now practiced by only a handful of expert weavers. The technique—developed to replicate the intricate motifs of traditional backstrap weaving on a larger scale—requires the manual coordination of 29 heddles. For each line of pattern, the weaver lifts a precise combination of ropes by hand, following a meticulously drafted graph-paper design. This intricate method takes up to eight times longer than weaving a solid fabric.
The loom itself is custom-built by local carpenters to suit the demands of falsería, and the result is a richly detailed textile with exceptional character. The floral motif in this sham evokes an old-world elegance reminiscent of Regan’s favorite Italian textile designers—timeless, sophisticated, and deeply rooted in heritage. Due to the loom’s width limitations, every seam and construction detail was carefully considered. Each panel is joined with intention, ensuring the pattern remains uninterrupted and the final piece feels refined and bespoke.
Backed in a solid handwoven textile and finished with thoughtful, hand-done detailing by Irma, this sham brings softness, depth, and a sense of history to any bed. It’s a striking blend of heritage artistry and elevated design—crafted to endure, and to be treasured.

Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom using the rare falsería technique, this one-of-a-kind throw is a masterwork of craftsmanship. Once common in Guatemala, falsería is now practiced by only a few master weavers. The process—designed to replicate the intricate motifs of traditional backstrap weaving on a larger scale—requires the precise coordination of 29 heddles. For each line of pattern, the weaver must lift a specific combination of ropes by hand, guided by a graph-paper pattern meticulously drafted for each design. This labor-intensive method takes up to eight times longer than weaving a solid fabric.
Each loom is custom-designed and built by local carpenters, tailored specifically to this technique. The floral motif featured in this throw reflects an old-world elegance that echoes the work of some of Regan’s longtime favorite textile designers from Italy—timeless, refined, and rooted in tradition. Because the fabric’s width is limited by the constraints of the loom, every seam and finish detail was thoughtfully considered and custom designed. The panels are joined with precision, honoring the complexity of the pattern while elevating the piece as a whole.
Finished by Irma with hand-knotted macramé and backed in a solid handwoven textile to protect its delicate surface, this throw adds both visual depth and substantial weight as a luxurious bed layer. A blend of heritage, precision, and elegance, it honors tradition while offering enduring beauty for modern homes.

Handwoven on a traditional footloom by Gudi, this pillow reflects the meditative rhythm of the artisan's craft—a central aspect of Guatemalan weaving. For many weavers, the steady, repetitive motion of creating textiles is not only a livelihood but also a form of mindfulness, passed down through generations. The stripe pattern, or rayas, is a common and meaningful motif found across the country, often inspired by the natural world—mountain ridges, rows of crops, or the flow of rivers. These lines carry deep cultural resonance, symbolizing continuity, connection, and landscape.
Stripes also serve a functional and aesthetic purpose in design, adding visual depth and subtle texture that invites layering. Their clean geometry can ground a space or add dimension when mixed with other patterns. In this piece, the refined rayas are rendered in timeless, versatile hues that allow the pillow to integrate effortlessly into a range of interiors, while celebrating the heritage and artistry of Guatemalan weaving.

Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom using the rare falsería technique, this throw is a true expression of master craftsmanship. Once widespread in Guatemala, falsería is now practiced by only a few highly skilled artisans capable of executing its complex patterns. This particular design requires the precise coordination of 50 heddles—a level of difficulty that demands deep technical expertise and intimate knowledge of weaving traditions.
The elegant oval motif is especially rare in Guatemalan textiles, where geometric forms typically dominate. Its presence here reflects both innovation and reverence: a bridge between ancestral symbolism and contemporary expression. The flowing curves and balanced rhythm of the pattern echo the refined sensibility of old-world European textiles, reminiscent of some of Regan’s longtime favorite Italian fabric houses—where tradition, sophistication, and artistry converge.
Due to the loom’s width limitations, this piece was woven in narrow panels, each one aligned with great precision. Every seam and finishing detail by Irma —from the custom-designed layout to the hand-executed joinery—was carefully considered to preserve the integrity of the pattern and elevate the final composition.
Finishing touches such as crochet joinery and a hand-stitched blanket edge add strength, refinement, and a quiet softness to the piece. The result is an original, one-of-a-kind textile that honors centuries of craftsmanship while offering a fresh, enduring addition to thoughtful interiors.
