Artisans of Guerrero

For generations, Guerrero's artisans have been weaving palm leaves into baskets, bags, and hats. They have preserved the art of bringing this material to life through ancestral technique, and they carry on the traditions boiling, dying, hand-braiding, and sewing the palm leaves into works of art. It can take years for artisans to master their technique, and each artisan can hand weave 1 to 2 baskets a day. With every Leah purchase, we provide opportunity and support for the artisans' community in an ethical trade environment. To learn more about the process click here
