Pura Utz: Home of the Birds launch event
Guatemalan-Danish brand Pura Utz is celebrating the launch of their new collection and you’re invited. For “Home of the Birds,” the team is taking inspiration from Santiago Atitlán where the heart of the brand and project is based. In the native language Tz’utujil, Santiago Atitlán is called Tz’ikin Jaay which means “Home of the Birds” and refers to the traditional dresses of the local Mayan Tz’utujil people which are abandonedly adorned with birds and flowers. The starting point for this new collection were the textiles worn and made by the team, connecting worlds now only through craft and social impact but also creatively. Pura Utz understands itself as a female empowerment project: co-run by Bernabela and Anna, the brand focuses on enabling a full-time income to a team of more than fifty women in Guatemala to help them grow their self-worth through providing for themselves and investing in their futures, all the while continuing to make unique handmade products of high quality for you. The launch event runs from 11 am to 4 pm – swing by to meet the team, browse the collection, and enjoy some wine and cake.
