Wholesale Handwoven Flores Cloth

Handwoven on the traditional backstrap loom in Guatemala, the Flores Cloth is centered on a brocade floral motif, dark brown stems and salmon flowers, that blooms from each short edge, finished with hand knotted fringe. Backstrap weaving is one of the oldest textile traditions in the Americas. The loom itself is a simple but extraordinary tool, one end tied to a tree or post, the other strapped around the weaver's body, allowing the weaver to control the tension of the fabric through their own movement. Every piece produced on a backstrap loom carries the physical presence of the person who made it. Draped over a guest towel bar, tucked into a bread basket, or laid beneath a pitcher of flowers as a table centerpiece, the Flores Cloth brings handcrafted beauty into the everyday moments of a home. In Guatemala, a handwoven textile is never discarded. It is cared for, repaired and passed down. We invite you to do the same.
