Rugged and on the cutting edge of “green,” with leather processed using only water and tree bark.

Oh, good earth…

The MayaBags® accessories collection is based on using the traditional Maya hand skills, whether embroidery, back-strap loomed fabric, basketry or carving. “Traditional” means that a skill has been used for a very long time, generally since the culture’s ancient origins, and that it has played a vital role in everyday life.

Today MayaBags® enables the Belize Maya to keep these fine artisanal skills alive, handcrafting products that bring a touch of creativity and luxury to the lives of our customers. Designer concepts, vibrant weaving, and embroidery inspired by sky, sea and the rainforest—all come together to make beautifully detailed things.
