We are a social enterprise based in Chicago and Guatemala that focuses on Fair Trade textile production. We are a verified Fair Trade company by both the Fair trade Federation as well as the World Fair Trade Federation.

Y'abal partners with cooperatives of indigenous women weavers in rural communities in Guatemala to make 100% artisanal and handwoven fabrics and scarves. We offer custom fabrics and soft woven rayon scarves, as well as accessories such as handbags, wallets, ties, home decor, all crafted using our artisanally woven fabrics. We specialize in a completely artisan-made product that is high in quality both for our woven fabrics as well as for sewing and construction.

We are a social enterprise with the mission to provide consistent jobs and social programs to disadvantaged women in Guatemala. All profits are re-invested into social programs for our women weavers.
