Our baby bonnets are made with the intention to dress the most important people in our lives with the best materials available.

The bonnets are cozy and beautiful and the materials are carefully selected taking care of the land and ourselves. Organic cotton is breathable and perfect for the warm weather.

The hand woven fabrics are made with native brown cotton that has been hand spun to threads and woven on both back strap and pedal loom (rhomb weave). Dyed threads have natural dyes. The native cotton originates from the state of Oaxaca and Guerrero. Hand spun yarn gives the beautiful rustic feeling in the fabric.

VISION

To be a significant and reliable force for the generation of well-being, prosperity and independence within the life of the people of San Sebastián Rio Hondo, Oaxaca.

ECOLOGICAL COTTON

The cotton used is native to the Costa Chica of Oaxaca and Guerrero. It is heritage white and coyuchi cotton (brown color) from 35 small producers from 12 coastal communities of Oaxaca. The farmers participate in a program for ecological production and the increase of biodiversity in their plots.

THREAD

At present, there are 200 women from the villages and ranches of San Sebastián Rio Hondo who remove with their hands the seeds of cotton brought from the coast, card and spin it, all by hand using spinning wheels in their homes.

Local carpenters reproduce the wheel designed by Gandhi so that each artisan has her own.

There are two types of handicraft fabric applied in the village: Pedal loom and waist loom.
