Cell Phone Holder - Small

Never miss another call with a Rococo-style cell phone holder that's been handmade from recycled Huipils (pronounced Wee-peel), the Spanish term for the traditional blouse worn by Mayan women in Guatemala. Huipils are the most significant part of a Mayan woman's costume, and to the knowledgeable observer it identifies a woman's village, social and marital status, religious background, wealth, and individual personality.

Each cell phone holder comes with a handy button closure that can be attached to belt loops or key rings for easy access, and adds a burst of color to often indistinguishable mobile phones. Regardless of which color and size you choose, your new huipil will identify YOU as a person who cares about women's issues by supporting an income-generation project that creates work for disadvantaged women living in Guatemala.

A well-woven huipil can last 20 to 30 years before it's sold at market and starts a second life as a rag, quilt, or handbag. Since these items are created from many different blouses, designs and styles will vary.
