Falseria Fabric By The Yard

$245.00

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.
