Huipil Card Case
Huipil Card Case
Artisans in Guatemala handcraft this colorful, eco-friendly card case from upcycled Mayan Huipil – the beautiful traditional blouse worn by women in Guatemala to signify which village they call home. Trimmed in genuine leather and ideally sized to fit in most pockets, each card case is one of a kind, as the front features Huipil colors, patterns, and motifs that are unique to each woman’s village.
Keep your I.D. and credit cards safe and secure in three genuine leather card slots on the back and an additional middle slot with beige 100% cotton lining that’s deep enough to stash photos, cash, or a key. Every purchase provides safe jobs with fair wages for women in areas of extreme poverty in Guatemala.
Every card case has variations as a part of the Artisan-made charm.

The Impact of Your Purchase
In Guatemala, gender discrimination and a lack of opportunities prevent many women in areas of extreme poverty from receiving an education or earning a living wage. But these women are utilizing their traditional skills to create beautiful products that reflect their culture and empower them to provide for their families at home. As Artisans and business owners, women in rural villages are now able to feed, clothe, and pay for their children to go to school - opening doors to a brighter future for the next generation in Guatemala! Purchase this card case and empower a woman in Guatemala!
