Product Story


Deeply rooted in the ancient Zapotec civilization of Oaxaca, Mexico, the Zapotec weaving tradition is a timeless cultural tapestry.

Handed down through generations, this craft intricately blends earthy colors and geometric patterns, with each thread on the traditional loom carrying the weight of centuries of cultural heritage.

What makes this tradition even more remarkable is the use of natural dyes, including the vibrant cochineal dye extracted from insects native to the region.

Beyond being a visual delight, Zapotec textiles serve as a living link to a rich history, highlighting the resilience and creativity of a people dedicated to preserving their identity through the artistry of weaving.
