Handbags are a beauty to behold. Nothing says more about a personality than the type of accessories that person has. So, what kind of handbag you carry will say a lot about you. That handbag may change daily or it may change seasonally, but either way, a lot is said about you and your personal style and taste. Do you like those big handbags that could support the kitchen sink? Do you like those small wallet handbags that carry just the necessities? Maybe you like both at any given time. Whatever you decide, you are sure to find room for Maya handbags in your wardrobe.
In 2003, two Peace Corps members started a business. George Glickley and Greg Van Kirk are unique because they are United States citizens, but the live and work in Guatemala. This company has made in beneficial for the Guatemalan artisans to produce the artist goods they produce – and via this small company – the Guatemalans are able to sell their original and unique works of art to an awaiting world. This allows for the artisans to showcase their products and sell their products to an awaiting market. This has helped many impoverished families to make a living with their art. Guatemalan weavers have been utilized to create Maya handbags.
Since this is a unique process, there is no guarantee from one piece of work to the next of what it will look like. However, people love the variety and appreciate the craftsmanship these fine handbags bring to the world. Artisans that have gained the skill from generation to generation weave each piece. No machines are used in the creation of these masterpieces. Every piece is slightly unique to the next.
Maya handbags are not the only products available by this budding company. These artisans also create exquisite scarves of natural and brilliant colors. When you add in the marvelous shawls, you have a weavers paradise of merchandise available on the newly opened market. Another smaller group of artisans are glass blowers. These magnificent artisans use recycled glass to bring the world the most beautiful and completely unique collectible plates, figurines, and various size vases.
These fine Maya handbags and other fine products are currently only available at the web site. The web site is kept up to date and the images resemble the merchandise, but are by far not able to capture the true beauty of these original items. Ordering is simple and secure, although sometimes you may have a small wait to get the items you choose. Many of the items are handmade only after you order the product. That is what I call perfect.
The price of these Maya handbags and products are extremely reasonable. I think that the craftsmanship of these fine products cold be sold for much more. However, the founders of this fine company wanted to bring the world fine, handcrafted products while helping Guatemalan artisans support themselves – all of this at a reasonable price. They understand that the world needs style with affordability, not a high price tag.
