The intricate patterns woven into the fabric reflect the serpent’s role as a bridge between worlds, representing divine power, wisdom, and the harmony of nature. The Kuk fabric is more than just a textile; it is a reflection of the profound spiritual legacy that continues to guide and inspire.

ABOUT THE ARTISAN
Made by an all women collective who work on backstrap looms in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico. We partnered with this collective after visiting San Andres, a village famous for it’s intricate brocade designs and colour. Needless to say, we were not disappointed!
