Just a note that our 25% off sale is going on! Use code HOLIDAYS2018 for 25% off all orders over $50 until December 31st.
We took a different approach this year. Usually we try to avoid selling out of products, but this year that’s already proven difficult. Some of our newest items are now sold out, but still plenty of other items are in stock for shipping both from US and Guatemala, so don’t worry.

Our favorite this season? We’d have to say….
Our naturally-dyed and handwoven Duffel Bag, as featured by Sustainably Chic in her holiday gift guide. We’re just about to bring back the Duffel in Indigo as well 💙
We hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of the holiday season! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s getting chilly these days… are you feeling the beautiful autumn breeze, too?
This is one of my favorite seasons, one that I’ve missed in Guatemala since it’s always spring there (really, that’s not a complaint – I love spring, too!). This year, I’m in Austria working on my master’s in Sustainable Development, and I’m so glad I brought along a few scarves. I’m a little worried for winter, I’m sure it will be the coldest in my life yet. I will definitely be carrying around my handwoven + naturally-dyed scarves with me, all the time 🙂
Are you feeling chilly, too? Take 20% off all scarves with code SCARFSEASON until Sunday, October 22nd. Order two and we’ll include a handmade Luggage Tag as a gift 😉
Some of my favorites this season:
Rebozo del Lago, a wide and cozy shawl dyed with plants. Handwoven + intricate ikat designs. (Retail $200)

I hope you’re enjoying the beautiful change of seasons, the trees changing colors, losing leaves, the fresh breeze but still some warm sunshine peeking through, too.
XOXO,
Mari

We love all our products, but we’re so excited that this chilly season the top favorite has been the newest scarf addition, our Corte Wrap. It’s beautiful and cozy, but more that that, we are including two different groups of artisans in its production – the weavers who prepare the naturally-dyed cotton thread, and the embroiderers who do all the amazing embroidery work, stitch by stitch ❤️
Francisca with the naturally-dyed thread her cooperative prepares. She liked the finished prototype!
Embroidery master sisters at work!
Stitch by stitch…
And the result is a super soft, cozy scarf ❤️
Kelly from Cardamom Collective snatched one of our prototypes!
Adrienne shows off her Corte Wrap AND her Quetzal Backpack 😆
Rachel and Laura both got a hold of these beauties with red stripes… lucky them!
Want your own? Use discount code SCARFLOVE for $20 off your own Corte Wrap just until January 25, 2017.
Check it out, this is a cool shout out because it’s seemingly random and that’s what makes it so special.
NYC chef Lisa Adams listed Kakaw Designs in her list All Good Gift Guide 2016 😆
So cool to find out that she loves her Mercado Bag!
My Mercado bag accompanied me to the beach all summer, is used to carry dance clothes on my way to classes, and it’s a lightweight carry-on that makes me feel global wherever my destination. I use Kakaw Designs table linens in my food photoshoots as well as everyday use at my dinner table.
Make sure to check out the entire list!
Don’t forget, it’s the last week to get 25% off entire store with code HOLIDAY2016 🙂 Shop at kakawdesigns.com.
