Rooted in the tradition of Welsh tapestry blankets, Carthen is ethically handwoven on traditional backstrap looms, this brocade is crafted with skill and heritage by indigenous Maya women. These artisans embroider the intricate pattern as they weave the base cloth. Every element of the complex design is meticulously hand stitched, a process that takes up to a month to create a single panel.
Our Ispa backing fabric is ethically woven on traditional treadle looms by our master artisans in Guatemala.
Due to the hand crafted characteristics there may be minor variations in shading and the placement of the pattern, all of which tell a part of this distinctive fabrics journey.
