I personally source each piece from indigenous women throughout the highlands of Guatemala using fair trade practices, this is beneficial to their whole families whilst at the same time giving the outside world the opportunity to own and wear a genuine piece of Mayan history.

Please note that this item is vintage and can be up to 50 years old, so small imperfections are possible , however, any obvious flaws are always mentioned and photographed Please bear in mind that this item is around 35 years old, so do not expect brand new and perfect, this is an historic, but still wearable item


Please check all pictures carefully prior to bidding

Fair trade

Shipping costs

Please note that shipping costs are not inflated.

It is expensive to ship from here in Guatemala.

Some sellers offer free or reduced shipping simply by inflating the cost of the item being shipped. I do not.

I believe in offering beautiful, worn , vintage pieces at the cheapest rate possible, whilst paying the ladies selling them, a good and fair price.

I strongly believe in fair trade practices and when traveling to many of the isolated villages, my friend Ingrid Aracely Pocon , who is cackchiquel Mayan travels with me, to interact with the ladies selling their garments in their native tongues ensuring a fair price.

Quite often it is possible to ship more than one buying item for the lowest price from the shipping company. Please ask and I will be happy to help

PLEASE NOTE:
Government permit

All vintage items require a government permit before they can be shipped from Guatemala, to ensure they do not have historical significance. This process can take up to 10 business days, hence delivery time of 21 days. As soon as the permit is issued, the item/items will be released to UPS and a tracking number provided . A telephone number must be provided as UPS will not accept shipments from Guatemala without one
