Central American Textile Company brings you the finest in Guatemalan textiles. Bold color and strong designs, combined with tradition and the individuality of the weaver are what gives the textiles their unique character.
Our store carries a selection of new and old pieces. Many of the older pieces provide a glimpse of the anthropological history of the Maya people of Guatemala. The store also carries finished products, for example: placemats, napkins, pillow covers, purses, bags, scarves, blankets, rugs and clothing.
 
In the spirit of empowerment, commerce through individual trade allows for respect of the craftsperson and a positive situation for all involved in the transaction. When the product being traded is beautiful the final consumer not only has acquired a piece of beauty, but has ensured the longevity of the craft and the knowledge that the craftsperson has been treated fairly.
