Handmade, A Fair Trade Project, this hat band is made by Mayan master beading artists in Santiago La Laguna near Lake Atitlan in rural Guatemala.
Indigenous motifs worked in colorful seed beads embellish the 7/8” by 20” band. Suede leather ties make it adjustable to fit most hats.
Beadwork is relatively new in Guatemala, but the impact of its trade makes a tremendous positive difference in the lives of the indigenous women who have learned this intricate skill.
Great gift for the cowboy, cowgirl, or city slicker with ethnic flair!
