    The Lienzo Larraínzar Chak is a striking textile from Chiapas, woven on a backstrap loom by artisans in San Andrés Larraínzar. Its crisp white cotton base is brought to life with a vivid red chak pattern — a traditional motif that reflects themes of continuity, balance, and ancestral storytelling.

    Functional and versatile, this textile can be used as a table covering, layered textile, or displayed as wall art. Each piece takes weeks to weave, with subtle variations that reflect its handmade nature. The Larraínzar Chak embodies both cultural depth and modern style, making it an heirloom-worthy addition to the home.

    About the Region

    Made in Collaboration with Colorindio & Artisans from Pantelhó, Chiapas

    Based in Mexico, this textile collective is dedicated to preserving and elevating Indigenous weaving traditions. Founded with the mission of sustaining artisan communities, it works directly with weavers in Chiapas, Oaxaca, and the Yucatán. Families continue centuries-old techniques, weaving on backstrap and pedal looms and dyeing threads with natural pigments like indigo, cochineal, and local plants.

    Each piece carries with it ancestral stories, rituals, and daily life. Depending on scale and complexity, a single textile can take weeks or even months to complete. The rhythm of weaving echoes the values of patience and care. By working exclusively with natural fibers and dyes, these communities honor both the environment and the integrity of traditional techniques.
