Asociación de Mujeres Vida y Esperanza

"In the picturesque town of Chichicastenango, Guatemala, our journey began from the pressing need to initiate and... execute community development projects that would not only generate income but also foster a sense of empowerment. It was this very need that gave rise to the 'Association of Women Life and Hope.'

Our primary mission revolves around the creation of high-quality handwoven textiles using the traditional backstrap loom technique. This endeavor serves as an economic activity that not only offers financial sustenance to our dedicated members but also contributes significantly to the economic growth of Chichicastenango municipality.

In our quest for excellence, we introduced a rigorous quality control system to ensure that our woven masterpieces meet the highest standards. This was a novel concept for our artisans, who had never experienced such meticulous scrutiny of their work. However, it soon became clear that these quality checks were essential, as they not only enhanced our output but also created ample job opportunities, thereby improving the living standards of our talented artisans.

Our journey has been marked by valuable learning experiences, particularly the acquisition of new techniques that have boosted our production capabilities. These newfound skills have not only empowered us as artisans but have also had a positive impact on our overall quality of life.

The association represents not only widowed women but also extends its arms to married women, divorced individuals, single mothers, and young women. It has emerged as a space for integration and participation, welcoming all who share our passion for traditional craftsmanship and community development.

The raw materials that fuel our creativity include cotton thread, synthetic lining, plastic zippers, leather, and metal accessories. While each material presents its unique challenges, our artisans have acquired expertise in their usage over time. Fortunately, our municipality boasts stores that cater to all our material needs, making the process more accessible.

As we weave threads into exquisite textiles, we weave together the aspirations of our community. Our association, 'Women Life and Hope', symbolizes not just a means of economic sustenance, but also a platform for the integration, participation, and empowerment of women from all walks of life. Through our collective efforts, we are 'Weaving a New Life and Hope' for Chichicastenango and beyond."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
