The somber grey hue of this hammock is designed to foster a relaxed mood. Woven by hand, this cotton hammock comes from Maya Artists of the Yucatán who create it in the same way they have for centuries.

Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere.

The artisans construct the one-piece shoulder bag from 100% cotton using waist looming to produce the body, a technique passed down through generations, integrating the strap by braiding the remaining length of each thread. The interior is composed of a single large compartment, with one opening through the top.
