The furniture we design is upholstered with huipiles, cortes, and tzutes sourced from Maya communities in Guatemala and Mexico. In these regions, there is a long-standing tradition of transforming vintage garments into new forms such as purses, shoes, and textiles for the home. Through our work, we continue this lineage by giving new life to deadstock and reclaimed materials, creating new stories from old textiles.

Each piece is designed and handcrafted one at a time, with a commitment to minimal waste. Every part of the fabric is used thoughtfully—remnants from huipiles, for example, are repurposed into dolls and small objects made locally.

Our intention is to create sustainable, timeless pieces designed to be lived with and passed on. We also make a conscious effort to use recycled or compostable materials for shipping whenever possible.

The huipiles we use for upholstery are primarily sourced in Guatemala and purchased directly from local families involved in the vintage textile trade.

Our Emilia runners, pillows, and napkins are handcrafted by a cooperative of weavers in Chimaltenango, Guatemala.

Most of our ornaments and wool animals are made by Tzotsil communities in Chiapas, Mexico, working across both urban and rural indigenous areas. Our apparel, decorative objects, baskets, and embroidered animals are produced in San Cristóbal de las Casas and embroidered by communities around San Juan Chamula and Aguacatenango.

Our velvet pillows are embroidered by Zapotec communities in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca.

We periodically give back to organizations, mutual aid funds, and individuals we know and believe in, supporting causes when and where we can.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we distributed thousands of masks to Indigenous and immigrant communities across the United States.

For several years, we also organized an annual Instagram auction, bringing together a community of designers and makers to raise funds for various initiatives, including the Standing Rock movement opposing the Keystone Pipeline and The Bear Project for the Pine Ridge Reservation.

We are continually inspired by the textures, colors, and stories of the people and places we return to. Mexico and Guatemala are rich textile landscapes, where evolving contemporary expression exists alongside deeply rooted traditions of weaving and embroidery.

For over ten years, we have grown alongside our partners and customers, remaining committed to the artisanal processes that first drew us in. We hold these relationships in the highest regard and look forward to continuing them for many years to come.
