Oxchuc Stripes Kal

Striped Cushions Hand Woven In Mexico

These striped cushions are hand woven by Mayan weavers in the Highlands of Mexico using the traditional back strap loom weaving technique which dates back to pre-Hispanic times.  If you travel through the highlands you will see women sitting outside their homes with the looms hooked up on the porch or to a tree weaving.

We work directly with this not for profit organisation working to preserve traditional weaving techniques in the Chiapas highlands and to enhance the lives of the weavers. Each cushion cover is carefully handcrafted and all the finishing is done by hand.

This versatile combination of yellow, brown, teal and pale grey stripes can be mixed and matched with the embroidered cushions in the Chiapas collection. They will brighten a contemporary room.  The colour combination  works well with our San Andres brocade cushion in grey and taupe as seen in the main image.
