Collection: Papel Amate & More Collection

Papel amate, a traditional Mexican handmade paper, is meticulously crafted from the inner bark of the amate tree. This time-honored process is primarily carried out by indigenous artisans from the Sierra Norte of Puebla. The production process involves harvesting, boiling, scraping, beating, and drying the bark to create a unique texture. Artisans then use natural pigments, handmade brushes, and traditional designs to decorate the paper. The result is a stunning piece of papel amate, rich in cultural significance and artistic value, preserving the traditions of indigenous communities while providing economic support.
