They're Here! MayaMam Shipment Arrives in the USA

If you haven't imported anything into the US or exported anything out of Guatemala, you will not appreciate nearly enough our sighs of pleasure and relief. But, our 24 boxes landed safely in Morristown NJ on Friday February 22nd. They left our storeroom in Cajola on January 9th, but got hung up in paperwork until the boxes left by ship (less than containerload)on January 28th. They were 3 weeks in transit, arriving in Miami on February 15th...one week for customs clearance and trucking (less than truckload) to Morristown. You can see the boxes arrived in nearly perfect condition. Now to market!

MayaMam Weavers on Etsy

We are way behind on putting our products in our Etsy store. We have been busy learning our new weaving designs and getting ready for last month's NY International Gift Fair. So finally we are putting our cobalt striped towels and matching apron in our Etsy shop. Don't forget you can always go to our own website www.mayamamweavers.com to see what we have to sell. Saludos!

Our New Wallets

We don't want you to think our seamstresses are sitting back relaxing, they have been sewing up new products! Here are our new wallets, redesigned by Trish. They go with what we call our "Journey Collection" -- a huge carryall and our very popular messenger bag. So this slim wallet completes the set. In spite of all the pockets, the seamstresses like this product because it is so small and manageable, whereas that carryall is enormous. We will get this put up on Etsy and our own website SOON!

MayaMam Weavers Glittering in Purple

We are putting our training into practice! We included the metalic thread we were experimenting in into our new purple shawls. The thread is not strong enough to weave the length of the warp, so we have inserted it into our wefts. Here is a photo of our newest scarves...they will be on Etsy and our website soon!
