elegant wraps and shawls

Shades of red, orange and maroon color this ruana with timeless elegance. Different teams of artisans within Guatemala's K'amolon K'i K'ojonel are involved in the creation of this shawl, from those who dye the yarn, to those who spin it, to those who weave it on a backstrap loom. Each artisan works from home, keeping a millenary textile tradition alive.

Ruanas add a layer of elegance to any outfit. Sandra Cuellar from El Salvador designs this handloomed cotton ruana in charming black and grey tones. This versatile garment can also be worn as a shawl by wrapping the ends around the shoulders.

Sandra is the heiress of a 40-year-old traditional family business dedicated to handloomed creations. Her designs have carried the cultural richness of El Salvador to different corners of the world.
