The history of “Textil Arcoíris”, better known as the Asociación de Mujeres Arcoíris in San Juan La Laguna is a testament to resilience, community vision, and spiritual transformation. It is a dynamic collective of Tz’utujil artisans dedicated to cultural preservation, economic empowerment, and ecological sustainability. Founded by visionary entrepreneur Isabela Candelaria YOTZ RAMIREZ, the association emerged during the pandemic in response to economic hardship and the need for dignified and independent livelihoods and would redefine the value of Indigenous women’s work.

We weave with purpose, using natural materials, ancestral techniques, and community engagement to protect the Earth and preserve our culture. We honor our roots, one creation at a time. Inspired by the Earth’s guardians, farmers, weavers, elders, and youth, we create with care. Each creation respects natural cycles and ancestral knowledge, preserving biodiversity, traditions, and the dignity of Indigenous life. Our textiles honor the rhythms of nature and ancestral knowledge, proving that sustainability begins with the community.
In every thread, a heartbeat. In every pattern, a story.
The women of “Textil Arcoíris “do more than craft one-of-a-kind textiles; they embody ancestral wisdom, ethical collaboration, and a vision rooted in dignity.
Each piece they weave is a living testimony of resilience, beauty, and cultural continuity. Their hands carry the memory of generations, transforming the textile industry from the ground up, guided by solidarity, spirituality, and the defense of territory.
Anchored in the soul of San Juan La Laguna, their art is not only a product; it is a movement. A movement that honors the past, empowers the present, and regenerates the future.

We were attended to by Lucía and both she, the team and their work are worth visiting. The quality and beauty of their products leave no one indifferent. Getting to know their methods up close, how they organize themselves and their families, and their desire to innovate by recovering and preserving their traditions makes you feel a connection with their products, in our case, memories that we will take with us forever.
