"Ixil [ee-sheel] Collective is a collaboration between Maya Ixil weavers and an American designer. The Ixil region of Guatemala has extremely limited direct access to a market for artisans because of its location. Instead, artisans (primarily indigenous women) sell their wares for dismal prices to middlemen who then transport them to large markets in other parts of the country and turn a profit for themselves. Ixil Collective was created to help these remote artisans earn a more substantial market share by being able to directly access a market able to pay fair wages. All designs are based on traditional Ixil dress and motifs and are made by Ixil artisans living in the towns of Chajul, Cotzal and Nebaj in the Quiché region of Guatemala."
- Elena Laswick, Founder of Ixil Collective
