Etzbal Guatemala

Etzbal is a proud Guatemalan company, founded with the purpose of integrating our rich cultural and traditional weaving heritage with the current trends and tendencies of the fashion world. This fusion allows us to place a variety of bags and accessories on the market that are not only original, one-of-a-kind and high-quality pieces, but are also completely affordable! Our products are handmade by Guatemalan artisans, who’s experience in handling pure leather and suede make for incredibly professional finishes once combined with our fabrics. The pillars of our community are our female artisans, who’ve inherited decades’ worth of knowledge in the art of weaving on a backstrap or foot loom. This is a tradition that has been proudly handed down from generation to generation within family groups of artisans. We acquire our traditional huipiles and typical textiles from various sectors of the country, and work alongside cooperatives and communities to help this ancient art form go beyond our borders. The uniqueness of every woven fabric and original weaving techniques of every artisan make for creative designs that are rich in cultural history and innovation. This fusion, combined with our artisans’ professional finishes is what allows our handmade products to be competitive in a market that demands superb quality at an accessible price.
