Welcome
Y’abal is a sustainable fashion social enterprise that works to empower indigenous women weavers in the highlands of Guatemala through fair trade job opportunities and social programs. We promote the ancient technique of the back-strap loom, a centuries old Mayan art-form, to create sophisticated and sustainable fashion collections that mix traditional and contemporary design.
