At MayaBags®, we believe every bag weaves a story: one of culture, resilience, and the hands that bring beauty to life. When you partner with us, you become part of that story—helping uplift Maya artisan communities while offering your customers products rich in meaning.

Why Carry MayaBags®?

Authentic Craftsmanship

Each MayaBags® piece is lovingly handwoven by women artisans in Belize’s Toledo District, using techniques passed down for generations. That means no two are exactly alike—every bag carries the imprint of its maker.

Cultural Narrative + Market Differentiation

Your shelves don’t just carry bags—they carry stories. With Maya-inspired motifs and textile traditions, your customers get fashion that resonates with culture, not just trend.

Ethical & Sustainable Values

We use natural fibers, plant-based dyes, and responsible leather accents. We also ensure fair wages and safe working conditions for our artisans. By choosing MayaBags®, you’re choosing purpose-driven retail.

Brand Alignment & Value

In a world where consumers value ethics and origin, MayaBags® helps you stand out. Your store becomes more than a shop—it becomes a space for meaningful choices.
