YAXHA Bordados

YAXHA (pronounced yash ha) is a clothing brand that incorporates traditional Yucatecan embroidery in new and fashionable ways. All of the embroidery is hand made from a community of embroiderers in the Maya community of Yaxhachén, nearly 90 miles south of Mérida. The goal of the project, YAXHA, is to help generate an artisan economy in Yaxhachén that allows the embroiderers there to support their family economy through their craftsmanship. All proceeds from each product go back into the the community of embroiderers in Yaxhachén.
