Nuup Sandals

$3,365.00 MXN

This model is composed of two pieces carved in horn that together simulate the shape of butterfly wings. Both pieces are held together by three bunches of thread on each side and are assembled to the cotton canvas woven on a backstrap loom. In Maya, "nuup" means union and for the collection it represents the feeling that artisans generate when creating a piece from the talent of different techniques from the peninsular region.

Horn carving was introduced in the Viceroyalty in Mexico and has been perfected over time by the Mayans. Today it is a technique recognized worldwide, typical of Yucatan, which uses only recovered material. The technique of the Mayan backstrap loom was developed in the western mountains of Guatemala before the arrival of the Spaniards. The technique consists of weaving cotton threads with a pair of sticks that, little by little, form a cloth with the weaver‘s movement to the rhythm of the rods‘ swaying. Henequen, being a fiber with qualities such as flexibility, softness, and durability, makes it the perfect raw material for working with this technique.
