Ecological
Cotton Fabrics
These products
are handcrafted from yarns made of 100% natural virgin cotton.
Some of the yarns are spun by hand on spinning wheels by
the Zapotec women in small villages throughout the central
valleys of Oaxaca. This is a traditional craft that has
been passed down from generation to generation for centuries.
The women spin their yarns in between household chores in
their spare time, taking care of the children, cooking the
food, feeding the chickens, hand grinding the corn for tortillas
etc. The yarns are then woven on old wooden looms and some
on old mechanical looms. Your purchase of these products
helps maintain their dignified indigenous way of life.
Naturally-Colored
and Green Cotton Textiles
Our
principal raw material is cotton. Naturally colored cotton
refers to a natural cotton fiber that grows in colors that
are thrilling naturalists and the environmentally conscious
segments of the textile market. It grows from seeds preserved
over the centuries by indigenous people living along the
Pacific Coast of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Handspun
and hand-woven since pre-Colombian times, we are now encouraging
the farmers to increase the cultivation of their variety
of Natural Brown Cotton. We offer natural-colored ecological
textiles in white, beige, brown and green - the colors that
grow naturally on the cotton plant. Cotton is a renewable
resource, completely biodegradable and is available in the
form of Fiber, Yarns and Textile Products. These natural
colored and green cottons are produced without the use of
dyes, chemicals, water or combustible fuel and therefore
have no harmful impact on the ecology. This
is our commitment to the environment.
