Handmade in Santa Lucía Utatlán, Sololá by Rut Gonzales, this yoga mat carrier is both functional and full of cultural heritage. Crafted from recycled corte textiles and embroidered huipiles, each piece carries the story of Guatemala’s weaving traditions.
A corte is the traditional woven skirt worn by Maya women, created on a foot loom with intricate stripes and ikat patterns. Durable and meant to last for years, cortes are often repurposed after their use, carrying their history into new forms. The huipil, a handwoven blouse made on a backstrap loom, is adorned with symbolic designs that reflect nature, spirituality, and community identity. Every village has its own unique style, making each textile deeply personal and meaningful.
By transforming these textiles into yoga mat carriers, Rut Gonzales gives them fresh life—sustainable, beautiful, and one-of-a-kind. Made with 100% cotton, this carrier is strong yet soft, a perfect companion for your practice that also supports traditional artistry in Guatemala.
