Weaving Tradition, Crafting Identity Since 1980

Rooted in the heart of Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, this collective of artisans has been dedicated to preserving and enriching the age-old craft of weaving since 1980. Their hands work the loom with a deep respect for tradition, intertwining wool or cotton threads dyed with natural, locally sourced pigments. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns they create are not merely designs; they are stories woven from the ancestral knowledge passed down through generations.

For these artisans, crafting textiles is more than an economic activity—it is a profound means of self-expression and a way to preserve and celebrate their cultural heritage. Each piece tells a unique story, reflecting the rich history, customs, and spirit of the Zapotec people of Teotitlán del Valle.

Their work strengthens the fabric of the community, providing economic sustenance while fostering pride in their heritage. Through their hands, the beauty of Oaxaca’s natural dyes and weaving techniques not only endures but continues to evolve, generating value for both the artisans and their village.
