Huipil Makeup Bag

Carry your essentials with cultural flair in our Huipil Makeup Bag, a compact zippered pouch perfect for cosmetics or everyday necessities. Crafted from vintage huipil fabric, this bag brings centuries of Mayan tradition into your modern lifestyle.

Huipil (pronounced wee-peel), the traditional blouses of Mayan women, is handwoven on backstrap looms—a skill passed down for generations. Each huipil tells a story, with intricate designs often signifying the wearer’s village and heritage. These masterpieces can take months to create and last for decades, preserving their beauty and cultural significance.

Your bag is made from recycled huipil sourced from Chichicastenango, a Guatemalan region celebrated for its intricate weaves. By choosing this bag, you’re not just carrying a practical accessory—you’re honoring the rich artistry and history of the Mayan people.
