NUUP

These sandals are composed of two pieces carved from recovered bull horn remnants that together simulate the shape of butterfly wings. Both pieces are fastened by cotton thread on each side and assembled onto a cotton canvas woven on a waist loom.

NUUP, which mean "union" in Maya, symbolizes the connection and bond formed between each of the artisans, their communities and histories as they work together.

NUUP is the union of the Mayan artisanal world full of unparalleled elements and the feeling of the artisans as they transform them into unique and unrepeatable pieces, demonstrating the talent of each of the communities where they were created.
