Celebration basket liners are handwoven on the traditional backstrap loom. Truly one-of-a-kind treasures, the center motifs express the Maya view of the world that everything is interconnected, different threads of the same fabric, and that nature and cosmic unity exists through diversity. Geometric motifs represent the relation among the universe, the earth, and humanity. Motifs depicting plants and flowers reflect our relationship with nature.

Our basket liners are one of a kind. You will receive one that is in the colors in the photo, but the embroidery motif might be different.

About Mayamam Weavers

Mayamam Weavers create handwoven home goods and accessories for modern living, inspired by the rich colors and patterns and traditional weaving techniques of Mayan culture. As well as beautiful, our products are soft 100% cotton, and durable enough for everyday use.

We began in 2008 as a cooperative of women in Cajolá, a Mayan town in the western highlands of Guatemala. To overcome poverty, the women came together to explore ways to provide jobs within their community, rather than migrate to the U.S. and separate their families. Since then, then cooperative has grown to 20 weavers and seamstresses, all earning fair trade wages while learning the skills to run a business.

The members of the cooperative also have access to on-site preschool, after school tutoring, and scholarships.

Mayamam Weavers in the U.S. is based in Morristown, NJ. We are proud members of the Fair Trade Federation.

We are equally proud to offer products that make a difference in the lives of women and provide a better future for their children.
