Details

The women from Las Trampas preserve the hammock weaving traditions started by the ancient Maya. "Hammocks are very comfortable, perfect for a good night's sleep after a hard day's work. That's one of the reasons we enjoy creating new designs," the Guatemalan artisans tell us. They weave two individual panels on a traditional backstrap loom to create this single size hammock. Featuring white cotton cords over iron hoops, the blue hammock is adorned with dark green, red, light blue, yellow, black, and white parallel lines.

“We are hopeful that our hard work will create a lot of demand so that it can help us improve the quality of life in our community.”

“The armed conflict in Guatemala lasted 36 long years and destroyed many innocent families. It resulted in many exiled... families, leaving women widowed, children orphaned and so much sadness, especially in the highlands of our country. It was devastating for many families of our communities, and many women wound up alone.

“The women had to take economic responsibility of their homes. In our towns, girls learn to weave at 6 years old. After the war, the one thing they could do was use their inherited textile skills, passed down from their mothers and grandmothers.

“When the need to feed and educate their children arose, some women began to organize themselves in order to sell their goods as a group and help each other get ahead.

“They started working in a town called Chichicastenango, which is very famous for all of the crafts they create and its large market. As the group grew, younger women started to join, bringing new ideas and wanting to work. My name is Cata and I was invited to join the group in 1998 because I’m a very entrepreneurial and hard-working woman. I proposed organizing ourselves better by making a more official association with a board of directors, and to coordinate with groups from other towns outside of Chichicastenango to seek more working women. Last year, as the group grew, we called ourselves Las Trampas and formed a board of directors and coordinated with other towns, expanding the group further.

“We don’t have funding nor a lot of orders because no one knows us yet, but we are hopeful that our hard work will create a lot of demand so that it can help us improve the quality of life in our community. We’d like the opportunity to share our art with the world.”

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

Triple 'Win' Pricing

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.

WIN # 3 Artisans Profit!
