Worry Dolls

Our worry dolls are made completely by hand in San Antonio Aguas Calientes, Guatemala. They start with Cibaque fiber, grown and produced on the shores of Lake Atitlán, and form this fiber into the base of the doll. With adept hands and a little magic, they wind string and repurposed leftover bandana cloth to create Sam & Nala Worry Dolls. Each is a unique piece of art. According to traditional Mayan legend, if you tell your worries to a worry doll before going to bed, then place it under your pillow, by morning the doll will have gifted you with the wisdom to eliminate your worries.
