Details

Hues of mint and black combine to form intricate diamond patterns over the body of this fascinating shoulder bag from Guatemala. Eu Chonay designs the bag, which is woven by hand of cotton on the telar de cintura, or floor loom. A mahogany leather strap drapes over the shoulder, while leather accents the bottom of the bag. Opening with a zipper, the bag reveals a lined interior outfitted with a zipper pocket on one side for storing small items.

Eu Chonay

"I was ten years old when I made my first textiles; it was marvelous seeing how, step by step, I could create a beautiful work of art."

“My name is Eulalia Chonay, but I like to be called Eu. I am a proud Guatemalan woman. I was born in the beautiful... municipality of Comalapa, a small, magical place where every corner is a world of color with warm and helpful people. Its streets are filled with harmony, and it breathes art.

“I am very fortunate to have been surrounded by handicrafts from a young age. My mom knows how to weave, and I loved being able to watch her make beautiful things. Little by little, I became even more interested in seeing how she made all this art. I was ten years old when I made my first textiles; it was marvelous seeing how, step by step, I could create a beautiful work of art. My mom was my greatest teacher, and she was always at my side, patiently teaching me the entire process. My dream was born thanks to her.

“After a while, it was time for me to begin my studies and move far away from home. Leaving my small village was difficult. Antigua Guatemala became my new home; it is a place full of marvelous architecture and unique landscapes. That was when I decided to put into practice everything that my mom had taught me. But, it was not easy, because I did not have the necessary capital. I managed to get started with a small sum of money. My first designs were inspired by the need for environmental preservation. With my handbags, I was able to create marvelous designs.

“I am fortunate to work with artisans from Comalapa. I always saw the needs of my community, which had many numerous families and limited work opportunities. Because of this, I decided to be a part of a wonderful process, giving work to people in my community so that they would be able to have better income, and helping families build a better future for their children. I also work with two seamstresses. Not only have we made a nice team, but we have formed a beautiful family; we all work to help each other.

“Today, I present my pieces filled with enthusiasm and a thousand dreams yet to be fulfilled. The progress of this country depends on everyone, and there is no better way to start than with pieces that represent the beauty of Guatemala, of its hardworking and persevering people, and of the beauty of its textiles. We also help the environment, and this fills us with satisfaction.

“I dream to give work to many more people in my community. This small step will not only achieve my personal goals, but it will also help many families.”

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.

By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.
