The weavers of Chiapas work hard, not only to keep making traditional items with traditional techniques, but also to use their centuries-old techniques to create new designs for the world. An example is this set of four blue-grey place mats with white windowpane checks, suitable for any modern home. Woven by hand on a backstrap loom, it comes from the Aid to Artisans organization, which works to help the indigenous people of this state maintain their traditional lifestyles.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Artisan Organization: Aid to Artisans
Country: Mexico
"Aid To Artisans Mexico is an initiative that creates opportunities for artisan groups in Chiapas communities as well as in the Yucatan Peninsula. Many of these communities are in remote areas, and their artisan traditions are marginalized or in danger of being lost.
"We combine our passion for Mexico's Maya culture and their artisan traditions with our own commitment to construct successful small businesses.
"We've been able to connect with artisans for their personal growth and development so that their artistic skills can lead them to greater opportunities.""
