Something new is taking shape at Yabal. 👀

For months, we have been working behind the scenes on a new collection — bringing together traditional Guatemalan weaving, new designs and a fresh chapter for Yabal.

We are not quite ready to show you everything yet…

But September is getting closer. ✨

Stay tuned. Something beautiful is coming.

Some things simply become part of your everyday life.

Our winebags are designed to be one of those things: practical, beautiful and made with intention.

Woven by hand in Guatemala using traditional techniques, every piece has its own small variations — a reminder that you are holding something made by a person, not a machine.

Looking for a meaningful gift? Something special for your home? Or simply a piece you will enjoy using yourself?

You might have just found it. ✨

When you buy a Yabal product, you are not simply buying something handmade in Guatemala.

You are supporting a model that values traditional craftsmanship and creates income opportunities for Mayan women weavers.

The income generated through Yabal also contributes to projects within the community — helping turn craftsmanship into something that can create opportunities beyond the loom.

So yes, your purchase brings something beautiful into your home.

But it also helps keep something much bigger alive.

Thank you for choosing consciously. 💛

One product. Three ways to make it part of your everyday life. ✨

Our Rain Toiletry Bag was created to combine traditional Guatemalan textiles with modern, practical design.

You could use it many different ways:
→ As a toiletry bag when traveling
→ As a small handbag on a day/night out
→ As a n organizer at home (perfect for the stuff that doesn't have a specific place)

Which one is your favourite?

From a simple thread to something you can use every day. 🧵

There is a whole process behind every Yabal piece — choosing materials, preparing the loom, weaving each section, creating the pattern and finally transforming the textile into the finished product.

What looks simple at first glance can represent hours of work and years of experience.

This is what handmade really means.

And this is why we believe the story behind a product matters just as much as the product itself.

A small detail can completely change a space.

Our handmade Layers Rug brings colour, texture and Guatemalan craftsmanship into your home — while remaining something you can actually use every day.

Handwoven by our partner weavers in Guatemala, each piece carries the individuality of the person who made it.

Which colour would you choose? 👇

Have you ever wondered how a Yabal textile comes to life?

Before it becomes a bag, table runner, pillowcase or another everyday object, it starts with thread, colour and an incredible amount of patience.

Our weavers work with traditional techniques, including the Mayan backstrap loom — a technique deeply connected to the cultural heritage of Guatemala.

The process is slow by nature.

And that is exactly what makes it special.

Looking for something handmade that brings a little more character into your everyday life?

Our Diamond Pillowcase combines traditional Guatemalan weaving with a practical, contemporary design.

Each piece is handwoven by Mayan women weavers in Guatemala, making every item unique.

It is not mass-produced. It is not made to be replaced next season.

It is made to be used, enjoyed and kept.

There is something different about owning something that was made by hand.

Not because it is perfect — but because it carries the time, skill and hands of the person who made it.

At Yabal, our textiles are woven using traditional Mayan weaving techniques, passed down through generations.

Every piece takes time. Every pattern is carefully woven. And every purchase helps create sustainable income opportunities for the women weavers we work with.

When you choose handmade, you choose more than a product.

You choose the story behind it. 💛
