Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom using the intricate falsería technique, this Euro sham is a striking expression of heritage and craftsmanship. The design features traditional Guatemalan diamond and arrow motifs—symbols that carry deep cultural meaning. The diamond, a timeless form found in textile traditions around the world, represents the four cardinal directions and the harmony of the universe. Arrows symbolize protection, movement, and the passage of time. Together, they form a pattern that bridges ancestral symbolism with a clean, modern aesthetic—effortlessly complementing both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Woven by master artisans, the creation of this textile demands precise coordination of 29 heddles—a technically complex process that few weavers can achieve. Each motif is formed row by row, following a hand-drawn guide and requiring deep expertise and unwavering attention to detail.
The artistry extends to the finishing by Irma: hand-knotted tassels are meticulously crafted and applied by hand, adding texture and a refined edge that enhances the sham’s visual and tactile richness. The result is an heirloom-quality piece that brings cultural depth, timeless beauty, and handcrafted elegance to the layered bed.
More than decorative, this Euro sham is a celebration of skilled hands, meaningful motifs, and enduring design—made to be cherished across generations.
