HAND EMBROIDERY
Chenalhó, Chiapas, Mexico
We shared hugs, joy and laughter with the women
Made by a group of women with more patience and precision than we could dream of having. This group of skilled artisans embroider pieces high up in the mountains of Chiapas.
Through collaboration with a NPO which works on bringing economic stability to artisan communities around the world using a methodology based on ecological practices, human empowerment and financial inclusion, Routes Interiors was able to work with groups it may otherwise not have reached. This group based in Chenalhó were some of the most enthusiastic people Angharad met on her trip. When handing over the first order not only product was shared but hugs, laughter and pure joy to be working together. Specialising in hand embroidery this group creates some of the most special and intricate stitches in our collection.
