Collars Cushion Cover

Our collar cushion covers are much more than simple decorative accessories; they are an expression of the rich cultural heritage and creative ingenuity of the indigenous women of Guatemala. Handcrafted with 100% cotton fabric, these covers are made from the collars of traditional blouses, which are an iconic part of the attire of indigenous Guatemalan women.

Each cushion cover is crafted from reusable fabrics, respecting sustainability principles and making the most of available resources. The collars, richly adorned with embroidery from different regions of Guatemala, are carefully selected and transformed into beautiful cushion covers.

The production process involves using the traditional backstrap loom, an ancient technique practiced by generations of Guatemalan artisans. Each thread is woven with skill and attention to detail, creating unique and authentic designs that reflect the diversity and beauty of Guatemala’s various regions.

These cushion covers are truly one-of-a-kind, with each showcasing its own design and distinctive character. They are a way to bring a piece of Guatemala’s culture and history into your home, while also supporting local artisans and promoting the preservation of indigenous textile traditions.
