Yaxa celebrates high-end craftsmanship and slow fashion with each of its spirited belts. We at Yaxa feel strongly about the preservation of the Maya culture, legacy and creative processes through the safeguarding and promotion of dying art forms and ancient techniques such as weaving, leather-making and embroidery. Furthermore, we are committed to our local partners and seek to create opportunities for our network of artisans. We work closely with Maya artisan communities in the Guatemalan highlands who provide for their families and through their craftsmanship and whose livelihood can improve significantly when given the right opportunities.
