Item Description
PIXAN : SPIRIT OF FASHION
Pixan (pronounced pi-shån) means spirit in ancient Mayan. Pixan is a social enterprise that empowers Maya women to achieve lives of dignity and hope. In the culture of the ancestors everything is sacred. Clothes and the elements that comprise them are part of the ever expanding cosmos. Each individual is an active agent of the never ending process of creation. Pixan looks at the process of design and production in the eyes of our grandmothers. We must create a pleasant world based on respect and love.
NATURAL QUALITIES
The natural tints are not only safe for the women and their environment but when fixed to Bamboo fiber threads create amazingly soft fabric akin to silk with a distinctive feel you will love.
The Eco-friendly dyes are obtained from native plants like periócon, aloe, and hibiscus. A fantastic earth tone is derived from fresh coffee cuttings. Natural dyes are a renewable resource for communities whose production is biodegradable. A significant issue for agricultural families with many kids underfoot.
ANCIENT WEAVING TECHNIQUES
The scarves are woven on a backstrap loom utilizing an ancient technique called Jaspe. This produces a unique “painterly” quality that is fresh and contemporary.
