Blue/Green Mayan Handmade San Juan Key and Coin Pouch

Description

Each coin pouch is handmade in Guatemala using a method known as Backpack weaving. Mayan women for centuries have made a variety of products using this method. They are made of 100% textured cotton that are hand dyed using local fruits, vegetables and insects. Because of this no two are exactly alike. The dyeing and weaving process allows for variations in color. In an age where large companies are mass producing products as cheaply as possible with no regard to the quality of human life or the environment Fair Trade practices stand out. Each artisan sets their own price along with hours they want to work using earth friendly production methods. This allows for products of exceptional value that are very durable and supports cultural craftsmanship as well support to families. This is a unique product that is beautiful and supports traditional artisans in Guatemala. It is made of 100% hand dyed and handwoven textured cotton which can be hand washed. Measuring 4.5 inches in length and 3.75 inches in height with one inside pocket and a smaller outer pocket, both zippered.
