    The Story Behind The Product

    Chucam is a small farming village located in the Department (County) of El Quiche, Guatemala. The community is located about 3 miles away from the town of Chichicastenango, but the road to town is not paved and access to the village becomes difficult during the rainy season. The families of the community are very poor, but the women know the ancestral art of weaving and use it as a supplemental income to provide a better life for their children. In 2001, eight Chucam families banded together to form a weaving cooperative to make beautiful patchwork quilts and other embroidered textiles. Their incomes have doubled if not tripled, and dozens of additional Chucam families have become involved. More importantly, the men don't have to leave for months at a time looking for work in the sugar cane fields and many more of the village?s children are able to stay in school.

    • A mixed bag... just like a quilt!

      First the good. I bought the rust colored one a few years back and loved it so much I bought it again. The blue color is very nice too. Has an ethnic elegance that is above the cheap touristy schlock. The quilts are really covers as they are not thick, but do look great on the bed. Remember, layers is what keeps you warm! The bad: Like some quilts, durability is an issue. Wash it carefully. As it is made of several different woven fabric patterns, the more ornate ones are fragile. Second the color does run quite a bit. I bought the rust one again since it faded so much over the years. The fade was a nice look, as it brought out the native pattterns in the fabric before the overall dye job. That said, expect it to look quite different with washings. Overall: For the money you can't complain and it does look great. Buy the king size even if you have a queen bed, as it seems to be undersize and does shrink a bit with washing.

    • Beautiful!

      I have never written a review on anything before though I shop online all the time. This quilt is breathtaking! I gasp when I opened it. The picture doesn't come anywhere ner doining it justice. It is vibrant, beautifully stitched. The perfect lightweight quilt for living in a warmer place or for topping a down comforter. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quilt in this style

    • Bleeds

      This quilt is a beautiful dark blue BUT, think very carefully how you will use it because the fabric dye is not permanent. It might be O.K. on a chest as part of your decor if you are willing to just bat out dust or dry clean. But I put this on our bed and found that moisture will make the blue bleed. After going to bed with wet hair I have woken up to a blue neck, and my dog licking her paw on the bed has made blue marks through to the sheets. So I was really forewarned when it needed cleaning. Not being in a habit of paying dry cleaning, and the tag says "Dry clean or hand wash separately" I tried the hand wash. Now I have many blue items. Since the blue was everywhere, getting it dry was the biggest problem. Even my clothesline would have been blue!

    • beautiful colors

      This is a beautiful piece, and the colors are rich, but it has to go on sideways to reach the frame, and cover the mattress. I will remedy this with a piece of fabric around the edge, as suggested by another buyer. My other issue is the color- not so rich a blue overall- more of a turquoise - but it works in the room, and I love the handmade feel. I like that it is supporting the artisans, and will purchase more products from the world store.

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? no, more turquoise than deep blues
      • How is the quality of the product? well made, sturdy
      • Did the product fit true to size? no, smaller than I thought

    • NOT RETURNABLE!

      This item is NOT RETURNABLE! Had I realized that, I would not have ordered it. very expensive for a quilt, and it isn't really a quilt. It is a pieced coverlet with no quilting stitches. Because of the dye issues others have stated, I was leary of keeping it when it didni't work out for my original use which was to hang it on a wall. It is pretty and obviously handmade, but for a hanging, it is too monochromatic. It is pieced, but not quilted, so there is nothing that makes is pop on the wall except the vivid blue, Unfortunately, without more handwork, that just looks like a large dark blue square; not interesting. Turns out I can't return it. Didn't realize that. Make sure it is what you want before you buy; don't buy as a possibility like I did thinking you can return it.

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
      • How is the quality of the product? okay
      • Did the product fit true to size? didn't measure
