Handwoven by Gudi on a traditional footloom, Cruceta draws its inspiration from one of Guatemala's most intimate weaving traditions, the delicate lacework seen on backstrap woven scarves and blouses, worked by hand across generations of artisans.

The technique at its heart is as precise as it is poetic. As Gudi weaves, he pauses to twist two warp threads around one another by hand, then passes a weft thread through the crossing to hold it in place. This small, deliberate act, repeated across the width and length of the cloth, creates a series of delicate open crosses, each one formed by hand, each one a quiet testament to patience and skill. It is the kind of detail that could easily go unnoticed, and yet it is everything.

The result is a fabric of extraordinary delicacy, where light passes freely through each cross section, making Cruceta a natural choice for window treatments, where it can do what it was born to do: let the light in, beautifully filtered through the rhythm of the weaver's hands.

Handwoven by Alirio and his team, Ventana is a fabric that rewards a closer look. At first glance, it appears to be one cloth. Look longer, and something more fascinating reveals itself, a top layer, open and airy, through which a denser, more tightly woven layer below becomes visible. Two fabrics, in conversation, bound together into one.

The effect is unlike anything produced on a standard loom setup, and the technique behind it is as intricate as the result is beautiful. Ventana is heavier in weight than our sheer textiles, with a presence and substance that grounds a space while its layered structure keeps it feeling open and alive.

This is a fabric for those who appreciate the extraordinary complexity that skilled hands can coax from thread, a textile that seems simple until it isn't, and reveals more of itself the longer you live with it.

Handwoven by Gudi on the same footloom as Tela Luz, Cosecha begins with a view most visitors to Guatemala will recognize, the patchwork of farm fields that stretch across the highlands and valleys, their neat grids etched into the landscape like a living map of sustenance and season.

The delicate squares of this fabric are a quiet homage to that pattern, and to the deep relationship between weaving and agriculture that runs through Guatemalan life. Many of the artisans we work with are also farmers, stepping away from their looms during planting and harvest to tend their fields. Here, weaving is not separate from life, it is woven into it.

Gudi achieved the grid design not through added complexity, but through precision: varying the density of threads in both the weft and warp to create a subtle, beautiful geometry from the structure of the cloth itself. Like Tela Luz, Cosecha is ideal for curtains, light, soft, and quietly sophisticated, with a pattern that speaks to the land it comes from.

Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom, Marimba takes its name from Guatemala's national instrument, the marimba, a symbol of cultural identity so deeply woven into the country's soul that its music is recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Like the marimba itself, this fabric is built on rhythm. Its pattern, a cascading arrangement of lines and rectangles that shift and dance across different planes, mirrors the layered complexity of the instrument's resonant notes. To watch Alirio weave it is to witness something similar to a performance, each pass of the shuttle deliberate, each line building on the last into something greater than the sum of its parts.

The technique behind Marimba is as intricate as the story it carries. Alirio's mastery of the footloom allows him to create a textile of extraordinary depth and movement, one that carries the same dynamic energy as the music that inspired it.

This is a fabric designed to be loved for a lifetime, and passed on.

Handwoven by Gudi on a traditional footloom, Tela Luz was born from a simple but ambitious request: to create something lighter than what the loom had ever made before. What followed was a quiet feat of engineering and intuition.

The setup is deceptively familiar, a standard loom configuration, but the magic lives in the making. As Gudi weaves, he deliberately refrains from fully beating the weft thread down, instead pressing the beater with extraordinary precision to nearly, but not quite, meet the previous row. It is a measurement taken entirely by eye, repeated with perfect consistency across every inch of cloth. The result is a fabric of uncommon lightness: soft, gauzy, and luminous, as though it holds the air within it.

Designed exclusively for curtain sheers, Tela Luz filters light rather than blocking it, bringing warmth and softness to any interior while honoring the remarkable skill of the hand that made it.

Handwoven by Alirio and his team, Olas takes its name from the sea, and from the particular magic of Guatemala's Pacific coast, where volcanic black sand beaches meet the rolling weight of the ocean. Guatemala is one of few countries graced with two coastlines, and it is the Pacific that carries this wilder, more elemental character: dark shores, powerful waves, and on the horizon, the silhouettes of volcanoes.

But the name Olas reaches deeper than the surface of the water. In the cosmology of the ancient Maya, the universe was understood to exist on three planes, the heavens above, the earthly world, and below, Xibalbá, the mysterious underworld. The fabric itself seems to embody this vision. As it is woven, it behaves almost as two cloths at once: one flat and grounded in the earthly plane, and one that rises and falls in soft waves above and below it, as though the weave itself is moving between worlds.

The result is a textile of extraordinary texture and dimension, one that is somehow both complex and deeply calming. Our first piece in Olas is a bedroom throw, an invitation to rest, to feel, and to be quietly transported.

Handwoven by Alirio and his family on a traditional floor loom, this fabric draws from one of Guatemala's most beloved domestic textiles, the panito, a cloth woven for generations to grace the tables of Guatemalan homes as placemats. Familiar in nearly every household, this fabric is traditionally rendered in vivid colors and bold stripes, a celebration of the country's exuberant chromatic sensibility. Here, we have stripped it back to its essence, allowing the extraordinary structure of the weave itself to take center stage.

In a quiet, unassuming cream, the complexity of the textile reveals itself fully, soft undulating curves emerge from the interlacing of threads, creating a subtle dimensionality that catches light and invites touch. This is the beauty that color often obscures: the rhythm of the loom, the patience of the weaver's hands, the architecture of cloth.

Versatile by nature, Panitos layers beautifully with any of our other textiles, offering a grounding texture that complements bold pattern and quiet simplicity alike.

Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom using the rare falsería technique, this one-of-a-kind fabric 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. 

A blend of heritage, precision, and elegance, it honors tradition while offering enduring beauty for modern homes.

Vibrant hues and rhythmic, repetitive lines come together in this heirloom fabric, handwoven by Gudi from soft cotton for a balance of comfort and tradition. Inspired by Camino—Spanish for “road”—the design honors life’s many journeys. In Guatemalan culture, roads symbolize connection between people, places, and generations. The structured lines create a sense of movement and space, balancing positive and negative with intention.

The palette draws from the rich color language of Guatemalan textiles: orange for warmth and energy and blues for sky and water—symbols of grounding and expansiveness. 

The shift in scale from our Camino Wide Stripe reflects the unexpected turns in our paths—moments of change, growth, and new perspective.

Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom using the rare falsería technique, this one-of-a-kind fabric is a masterwork of craftsmanship and cultural heritage. Once common in Guatemala, falsería is now practiced by only a few master weavers capable of its complex execution. Designed to replicate the intricate motifs of traditional backstrap weaving on a larger scale, the process requires the precise coordination of 40 heddles. For each line of pattern, the weaver lifts a specific sequence of ropes by hand, guided by a meticulously drafted graph-paper design. This labor-intensive method can take up to eight times longer than weaving a solid fabric.

Each loom used is custom-built by local carpenters and tailored specifically to support this sophisticated technique. The floral motif woven into this throw is timeless and versatile, rich with symbolic meaning—one of many reasons falsería serves as a cornerstone of our collection.

We named this design Montaña, the Spanish word for "mountain," in honor of the highland communities we work with in Guatemala. Mountain motifs, traditionally symbolized by zig zags, appear frequently in Maya textiles—an enduring presence in the region's geography and history. During Guatemala’s armed conflict, many weavers were displaced to remote mountain villages, yet these motifs predate even that period, found in some of the oldest surviving textiles. Alongside the zigzag, this design incorporates the diamond, symbolizing the four cardinal directions, and the flower—a nod to Guatemala’s nickname as the “land of eternal spring.”

Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom, this material features the intricate falsería technique—an advanced method developed in Guatemala to replicate the precision of traditional backstrap weaving on a larger scale. The estrella (star) motif, deeply rooted in Guatemalan textile heritage, symbolizes guidance, protection, and a spiritual link to ancestral wisdom. As a recurring symbol in Maya cosmology, the star carries profound meaning—its translation into textile form is both a reverent homage and a striking visual statement.

Weaving stars using falsería requires extraordinary technical mastery. The artisan must coordinate 29 individual heddles, manually lifting a specific combination for each line while following a hand-drafted graph-paper pattern. This process is labor-intensive and demands years of experience, precision, and deep cultural knowledge.

Both culturally significant and visually bold, this pattern is a modern interpretation of Maya tradition. It’s a timeless statement of craftsmanship, symbolism, and design—crafted to bring meaning and elegance to contemporary interiors.

Handwoven by Gudi on a traditional footloom, this fabric 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.
