CENTURIES-OLD TRADITION
meets MODERN DESIGN

We are so excited to announce the launch of our collaboration with global luxury footwear brand Stuart Weitzman. Together with the brand, we created a limited-edition ikat textile crafted by our partner artisans in Nahuala, Guatemala. These artisans tapped into centuries-old traditions of dyeing and loom weaving to create the fabric, which comes to life on a range of Stuart Weitzman’s new spring silhouettes.

“As a global brand that stands for uplifting women around the world, Stuart Weitzman is proud to partner with Mercado Global and support the empowerment of Indigenous women artisans in Guatemala to make meaningful change in their communities,”

Giorgio Sarné, Stuart Weitzman CEO & Brand President.

The inspiration behind the fabric stems from the rich cultural heritage of Guatemala, where the intricate ikat printing technique holds deep significance. Originating from Indigenous communities, this ancient method weaves stories of tradition and identity into every thread.

Through this special partnership with Stuart Weitzman, we are bridging the gap between high-end luxury design and artisan cooperatives proving that together, we can make the world more ethical, sustainable, and just — for all of us.
