Chumil Basket – Purple
(Item # pn-chup)
$72.00
Named Chumil, the Kaqchikel word for “star,” this basket brings together warmth, texture, and tradition in a design that draws the eye from center to edge. Deep plum, indigo, and cream tones spiral outward in a pattern that feels both grounded and celestial—like starlight captured in woven form.
Handcrafted from longleaf pine needles, native Guatemalan grasses, and richly dyed raffia, the Chumil Basket balances beauty with strength. It’s sturdy enough for everyday use, yet striking enough to hang on the wall or anchor a space with intention.
Woven by Maya women artisans in the Guatemalan highlands, each basket reflects generations of skill, cultural heritage, and care. It’s a piece that lasts—and means something.

| Meet One Of Our Artisans |
Mayan Hands partners with women-led artisan groups in the Guatemalan highlands, where weaving and basketry are more than craft—they're cultural inheritance. Many of the women learned to weave from their mothers and grandmothers, continuing a tradition that spans generations. By working with Mayan Hands, these artisans earn fair income, gain access to education, and strengthen their communities—all while preserving Maya heritage through their work. "We weave our stories into every piece. It’s how we honor the women who taught us, and how we teach our daughters in return." — Artisan in Sololá |
