Spring Collection
We all need a little extra spring love this year. To make this happen, Utz Threads teamed up with Guatemalan designer Stefanie Richmond to bring you our new spring collection. As always, each product is handmade and the textiles handwoven by our all-women Guatemalan weaving cooperative. They're an intricate blend of leather and textile, long-lasting material and designs that are eternally stylish.

NAVIGATING THE MURKY WATERS OF GUATEMALAN “FAIR TRADE” BRANDS: A GUIDE
We need the branding and labeling of products to help guide us through the obstacle course of choices encountered even in our simplest purchases at the grocery store. But what happens when you learn to read between the lines of some labels and find their claims don’t stand up?
TEXTILES, THE BOOK THE COLONIZERS COULDN'T BURN
This matriarchal tradition, passed from mothers to daughters, has been compared to a silent resistance movement by women who were able to shield a major part of their cultural heritage by confining stories and symbols to the intricate weavings on their backstrap looms*.
QUESTIONING FAIR TRADE'S LEGITIMACY
At its core, fair trade is about inclusion. With the rise of globalization, certain communities are boxed out of participating in the global economy due to a lack of resources and access.
What People are Saying
This is my second time ordering a bag and purse from Utz. The quality of the work and the beauty of the materials is extraordinary. I bought my first bag for myself but a friend loved it so much I had to give it to her. Hence my second order and I am holding on tightly to this one.
Great for credit cards and other misc. wallet / purse items. Beautifully crafted and a must have for any handbag.
Beautiful enough to leave out. Spacious, well built and beautiful. Love it!
My favorite messenger bag! This is my second bag from Utz Threads. The colors, textures, details, and compartments make this an ideal bag. It gets so much use from me. It's comfortable because the straps are thick but not hard. The design catches your eyes. I get tons of compliments when I wear it to work. I'll most definitely be gifting one for future thought.
Love the look and feel of the materials used to craft my handmade bag. Really happy I purchased.
This coin purse is beautiful and the perfect size for carrying all my essentials !
I love this bag. It’s beautiful and very well made. I love the colors. I can fit a lot of my things in it. Very happy!
I purchased one Cuarteado Coin Purse and one Atol Blanco Coin Purse, keeping one for myself and gifting a dear friend. Both purses are beautiful, unique, generously sized, and well-made. And I love the fact that my purchases help support the amazing women who weave these works of art.
The colors definitely stand out on the shirt. My girlfriend loved it. She said it’s super soft and fits perfectly (size L).
I love this, it was a gift to my daughter and it's very stylish, made with high quality, and I will keep them in mind for holiday presents and whatnot!
I'm excited to finally have a little coin purse that is filled with purpose and very well made with tons of style! I didn't hesitate when I saw it, and it's served me well.
The weavers and sewers just did a fantastic job on the case. It is vibrant, energetic, fun - and very well constructed. Thank you!
The laptop case is both beautifully crafted and durable. I recommend this company to anyone and look forward to future designs!
