The material is flexible, lightweight, and resistant, making it suitable for holding a wide variety of foods such as bread, fruits, vegetables, among others. Being made from the native agave plant of the Yucatan peninsula, it is an object that pays homage to the artisanal heritage of the Mayan people. Care: It is recommended to dust with a semi-damp cloth.


The henequen fiber, a native agave from the Yucatan peninsula, has been used by the Mayans since pre-Hispanic times for its resistant and durable composition. Sewn henequen is one of the techniques that arises from the use of this material, where wet and combed fibers are rolled circularly forming layers that are sewn together to build everyday objects.
