    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.
