  Probably my favorite textile co-op store in Xela. Good variety of products at reasonable prices, in many beautiful patterns from different regions of Guatemala. It's great knowing that your money is going directly to the women to help support them and their families. I've been using a shoulder bag and wallet that I got from Trama since I came back to the U.S. and have gotten lots of compliments. Trama also offers weaving classes where you can make your own scarves, tablerunners, etc, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to check them out.

  I can't say enough about this place. Their mission alone is something to admire but the women here are all incredibly wonderful and proud of their work. I visited this place at least once a week and got warm hugs and kisses from a lovely woman warrior.

  I volunteered at Trama Textiles for 4 weeks in the summer of 2012, and now I'm back for 7 more weeks. Trama Textiles is a Mayan women weaving cooperative that preserves and supports the traditional backstrap weaving technique. There are awesome volunteer opportunities if you are in Xela for an extended period of time. If you just have a day or two in Xela, you should still stop by. You can learn about the weaving technique and the cooperative and purchase some textiles at a fair price and know that is has been responsible produced.
