Woven Face Mask

These high-quality cotton face masks are handmade in Guatemala with handwoven textiles using the traditional Mayan back-strap loom. The thick fabric is both soft and helps to keep you protected, and also assure our women artisans jobs during this difficult time of COVID-19. The face masks have three protective layers of fabric: handwoven cotton, synthetic interfacing in middle, and an inside soft cotton lining. They are machine washable and we recommend that you air-dry these. There are two styles available: the traditional behind the ear mask, and the other style that goes behind your head.

*Colours will vary, but please contact us at marketplace@operationgroundswell.com if you’d like to choose something specific!
