My name is Caryn Maxim. I live in NJ but spend 2 weeks of each month in Cajola, a Maya Mam community in the western highlands of Guatemala. (The Mam people are one of the 22 Maya ethnic groups in Guatemala.) I have been helping a group of women start a weaving cooperative, MayaMam Weavers, over the past years. I would like to share with you some of their work, some of their stories, some of their wisdom, as well as why fair trade -- or trading fairly -- matters.

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!
