Backstrap weaving
Suytik is a group of Tsotsil women weavers from San Andrés Larráinzar. It is made up of multiple generations of the López Díaz family, who have learned backstrap weaving since childhood as part of daily life and cultural tradition. Each member contributes her own style and vision, keeping alive a practice that reflects their Tsotsil identity. For them, weaving is more than an income source—it’s a way to pass down knowledge, values, and a worldview that deserves respect and visibility.
Our collaboration with Suytik is facilitated by Proud Mary’s long term partner, Kiptik. Kiptik works alongside Suytik to strengthen their organization, promote fair trade of their textiles, and expanded their access to learning opportunities.
