The interlocking patterns in this huipil represent the union of people, and with good reason: the Huehuetenango region includes people from nine different Mayan language groups that make up roughly 70% of the area’s population. Huipil styles of the different language groups vary greatly in style and color—this one was designed to represent all cultures. The white background was chosen to represent purity; stripes signify the destiny of each person in the world.

Huehuetenango is located in the northwestern region of the country, is bordered to the north and west by Mexico, and is home to the Cuchumatanes Mountains. Certain parts can reach altitudes of up to 11,000 feet, and the region contains fewer roads than other areas of Guatemala. The heavier material used for this huipil was chosen due to the colder temperatures at high altitude. It’s unique because its design is completely woven and not hand-embroidered like many of the others.

*Please note: this is a pre-order. Huehuetenango Huipil will be delivered in 2.5 months after confirming your order.

Handmade in Huehuetenango by Marta Imelda.

Measurements: 26" W, 23" H.

Material: 100% cotton.

ENGLISH: Marta is an indigenous woman of the Maya-mam ethnic group; she is married with one child. She studied through high school and received a teaching diploma for bilingual elementary school (Mam-Spanish). Due to the lack of opportunities as a teacher in her area, she started a business making huipiles, simple and embroidered cortes (traditional Guatemalan skirts), belts, and handbags. Marta acquired a group loan through Friendship Bridge which allowed her to buy a variety of raw materials for her business. She serves as her loan group’s president and was elected as a representative for the Friendship Bridge client committee, where she offers suggestions for improvements.

ESPAÑOL: Marta es una mujer indígena de la etnia maya-mam; está casada y tiene un hijo. Estudió el bachillerato y obtuvo el título de maestra de primaria bilingüe (mam-español). Debido a la falta de oportunidades como maestra en su zona, inició un negocio de fabricación de huipiles, cortes sencillos y bordados (faldas tradicionales guatemaltecas), cinturones y bolsos. Marta obtuvo un préstamo grupal a través de Friendship Bridge que le permitió comprar una variedad de materias primas para su negocio. Es la presidenta de su grupo de préstamo y fue elegida como representante del comité de clientes de Puente de la Amistad, donde ofrece sugerencias de mejora.

Nice design, easy to pour, smooth coffee.
This is a really great design. We've been using this since July of 2024 and it's come in really handy for daily coffee making. Much smoother than a drip machine, and less coffee is needed. This starts the journey coffee making artisans.

Just the perfect size!
Love the size of the carafe. Smaller than expected but that was what I was hoping for. A good 2½ to 3 cups full. Looks modern and Chic and blends in with all the other stainless steel appliances in my kitchen.

It's nice, but the glass is super thin
Everything about this is built really well, except the glass. I'll get into the glass at the end of this, so stick with me. The stand is real heavy and overbuilt if you ask me, but that makes it super stable. The rubber mat on the bottom is a nice touch. The rubber that holds the metal cone on the stand keeps it stable too. The cone works great with #4 coffee filters (I've got a mess of them). They're a bit big but they still fit. I actually use it a lot of times without the stand because I weigh my water as I add it. The cone fits nicely right in the top of the glass. The glass though. It's SUPER thin. I've had a Chemex knock-off that was slightly thicker than this break just from setting it on the counter wrong. I'm just waiting for this thing to shatter on me for no reason. This would be a great unit if that glass wasn't so thin.

Neat looking, yet over priced
This definitely looks pretty cool. And the magnet built into it makes it somewhat unique. But when you really get down to it, it's a stand for a coffee filter and carafe.

Best pour-over coffee maker
This pour-over is my favorite. I've tried metal mesh and ceramic pour-over. This set up is the best, it aerates the coffee as you pour.
