Cho'jac items
Hardcore handicraft
The collection of bags and accessories are a reinterpretation of traditional Mayan wickerwork: it consists of the sustainable sisal of the agave cactus, vegetable-tanned leather and linen from European cultivation. Everything is handmade in small factories around Berlin. All components are durable and either repairable or replaceable. Parts of the proceeds are used to offer free, low-threshold courses for locals in the Chiapas / MX region, so that the tradition is revived and this unique cultural technique is not lost.
