The Story Behind It

How they work: A group of artisans from across Chiapas who come together to share their craft and reach a wider market
Origin: Chiapas, Mexico
Materials: Felt and cotton thread

Time to make: Each piece can take between 1 to 2 days, depending on the level of detail

A note from the maker: Erika and the collective hope that whoever brings one of these pieces home understands the care and time that went into making it - stitch by stitch. Behind every piece is a community of makers keeping their traditions alive, and finding new ways to share them with the world.
