It can take months to make fabric using indigenous techniques but the beauty of handmade items is worth the wait. What are your thoughts on preserving these traditional weaving styles?
Am I missing a link to buy from them? I even googled, but oh my at the spam sites!! Please provide a link, I want to purchase their beautiful items. ✌💜😊
What and interesting method of weaving. Glad this tradition is well preserved. Those are some really vibrant colors indeed! Thanks for sharing National Geographic.
Beautiful!!! We have our own traditional weaving up here in BC too. I’ll have to keep these people in mind, for when I can afford to commission something.
If anyone is interested, the people of San Juan la Laguna are Mayan, yes but specifically Tzutujil, which is also the language they speak! And they are incredibly friendly!
this is amazing Im from Mizoram which is a state in India...and we have the same weaving technique used by the girl... is it a co incident or is it not
But yes, it is sad to see the Mayan culture and heritage slowly fade. I hope to continue them with my children and hope to see them flourish these beautiful traditions

What weaving techniques are you talking about? I’m from Guate and my family is Mayan and there are definitely more than 23 people that can do that?
I think a video that's only a few minutes long for such a detailed process is a travesty.
I think that the traditional style are remarkably beautiful. It should be taught in sewing classes. I would love to learn this art. 😍

So very cool. I'd bet 99% of people have no idea how cloth is woven. I'd love to see an extended version of this video
It's enlightening to see how every day items like cloth are made, especially when it's done by hand! We're glad you enjoyed watching!

I live in Antigua and I see a lot of women weaving like this. It never fails to impress me, I couldn't do it.
Earl Grey Would you know a website that you can share? So p people interested can visit them and buy their products.
Regrettably, I do not know any off the top of my head. Most of the women that I see making them tend to sell them on the streets or in the markets
Could you share their online store information? I'm having a hard time finding it.
Oh my god I was exactly there (casa flor) like 3 weeks ago!!! They’re amazing.

Almost every country have their own style of weaving.
Same method Available in bangladesh... Indegenious people
Hmmmm... what kind of weaving techniques? I’m from Guatemala and Mayan and there are thousands of weavers that do the Mayan weaving not just 23 soo?

Proud to have Guatemalan blood on my mother's side. Just like you need a Jewish mom to be considered a real Jew lol.
