Guatemalan Woven Wealth – Preserving a Rich Textile Tradition

The book discusses the Mayan women’s wardrobe which reflects the cultural heritage of generations of weavers. Garments being made and worn currently are rooted in long tradition. There is reference to identifying the garments of various regions as well as advice about collecting. The pieces shown were collected for a trunk show and sale to raise funds for Friendship Bridge, a micro-credit organization working in Guatemala.
