OG REVIVAL MCDB - OOAK JOYABAJ HUIPIL - CAFE - NO. 12464

Our One Of A Kind Collection consists of products constructed using curated vintage fabrics purchased from loyal Guatemalan market vendors. All of the fabrics seen in the One Of A Kind Collection have lived a full life before being incorporated into your Nena product! These vintage fabrics were woven from the memory by a Guatemalan artisan up to 10 years ago; each pattern distinctive of the region where the artisan resides. Truly and completely one-of-a-kind, these products are a masterpiece!

This bag was made using a vintage huipil, or Guatemalan women's shirt, from the village of Joyabaj. The traditional huipiles from this area have a structured lace neckline. The textiles from the village of Joyabaj in Guatemala are a vibrant testament to the region's rich cultural heritage and artisanal skill. Known for their intricate patterns and vivid colors, these textiles are traditionally woven on backstrap looms, a technique passed down through generations. The designs often feature geometric motifs and natural symbols, reflecting the community's deep connection to their environment and ancestral traditions. Each piece tells a story of local folklore and craftsmanship, showcasing the weavers' dedication to preserving their unique cultural identity amidst modern influences. The textiles of Joyabaj not only serve as beautiful, functional art but also as a living expression of Guatemalan heritage and pride.
