NAWA — Artisan Fashion with Roots

Indigenous Heritage, Female Power, and Contemporary Textile Art

NAWA intertwines indigenous heritage, female power, and textile art. Their creations are born from respect for roots and evolve into a modern and symbolic aesthetic — each garment tells a story and becomes an act of personal expression. At Aguadulce, we bring their selection for women who dress with meaning and authorship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is NAWA from?

A Latin American authorial brand with an emphasis on indigenous roots. It works with artisans to keep traditional textile techniques alive and reinterpret them in a contemporary key.

What artisanal techniques does NAWA use?

Backstrap loom weaving, hand embroidery, natural dyeing with vegetable pigments, and mixed combinations. Each technique respects the knowledge of the original artisan and adds uniqueness to the piece.

Yes, largely. Processes like embroidery and weaving are artisanal by definition. The final construction may combine machine and hand depending on the garment.

What garments does NAWA make?

Dresses, embroidered blouses, ponchos, caftans, and accessories with artisanal textiles. Each reference is a very limited edition due to the nature of manual work.

How do I care for embroidered garments?

Hand wash in cold water with neutral soap, dry in the shade, and iron inside out at a low temperature. Never machine wash or tumble dry. Each product details specific care instructions.

Why does NAWA cost more than industrial clothing?

Because there are hours of real manual labor behind each piece: embroidery, weaving, dyeing. What you buy is portable textile art made by people, not a factory product.

How do I receive my NAWA order?

We ship throughout Guatemala: 24-48h in the capital, 1-2 business days in departments. Free pickup at Casa Catorze, Zone 14.
