Seven Reasons to Buy

Located in Paris, France, the boutique can distribute its exceptional items all over the European Union and the rest of the world.

There are seven main reasons to buy at MAYACATSHOP:

-      Original items: The Mayans combine their creativity and their inherited talent in order to convert their colorful textiles into practical and useful items of daily use. These have been carefully chosen to provide a variety of styles trying to satisfy the personal preference of each client.

-      Each purchase helps a family:  All textiles are hand-woven and most of the jewelry items are hand-assembled by the ingenious talented Mayans living in their native land.  Their efforts are rewarded when these articles are appreciated and sold all over the world.

-      Ecological:  All textiles are hand-woven on a traditional treadle loom, which is foot-powered; all yarns are previously hand-dyed in order to create the colorful patterns.  All jewelry items are assembled by hand, using natural semi-precious and natural stones from the area. 

-      Economical:  No industrialization is involved, conventional methods are used and the artisans themselves produce the transformation of raw materials into textiles, objects and jewelry.  The final cost does not have to add all the operational charges of a big industry.

-      Always fashionable:  Mayan textiles and jewelry items are always in fashion.  Their colorful designs bring a burst of vibrant energy into the atmosphere.  Their originality is tasteful and attractive at all times.

-      Innovative:  Our catalog is constantly changing: new items, new colors, new designs, new patterns.  We are incessantly searching products created by artisans from different areas, where each traditional technique is unique. 

-      Expediency: With the easy and practical access to Internet, the boutique Mayacatshop can display and distribute its unique products all over the world.
