A Mayan Overnight Bag bag for all occasions. These truly special one-of-a-kind bags are made from traditional Mayan blouses or "huipiles", hand woven on a backstrap loom, worn and loved and recycled.
HISTORY
The beauty and intricacy of the huipiles really shines through on our Maleta Weekend bags. Only the best sections of design are chosen. Each bag is adorned with it's own distinctive history from it's own family lineage and is literally bursting with Mayan symbols of love, life and folklore. Our Maletas feature all reclaimed and recycled leather, complete with occasional beauty spots and vintage lines.

Our small, family run business has been working closely with the Mayan community in Chiapas and Guatemala since the 1970's, aiding their independence and helping to ensure that beautiful Mayan traditions and textiles continue to live on.
