Add a touch of heartwarming charm to your holiday decor with the Handwoven Canine Holiday Ornament by UPAVIM Artisans. This delightful ornament, featuring a cute canine with floppy ears, is more than just a festive decoration - it symbolises a commitment to social and economic empowerment. Handmade by women artisans from the UPAVIM cooperative in Guatemala City, each ornament represents a story of resilience and creativity.

Measuring 2-1/2” high x 1-1/4” wide x 2-1/4” long, this meticulously handcrafted ornament embodies the dedication and skill of the artisans behind its creation. As part of the United for a Better Life initiative, UPAVIM has provided opportunities for these women to showcase their talents while also establishing essential community facilities like a school, a pharmacy, and a bakery. Every purchase extends support to these artisans who are the backbone of their families and communities.

The UPAVIM Crafts cooperative's journey, from a small community health project to an 80-member business cooperative, is a testament to the power of collective effort and fair trade practices. Specialised in creating handmade textiles, the women artisans offer a range of products including bags, purses, wallets, aprons, and of course, heartwarming holiday ornaments. By sourcing locally available traditional Mayan textiles, UPAVIM not only preserves cultural heritage but also creates sustainable livelihoods for its members.

Celebrate the spirit of giving back this holiday season with the Handwoven Canine Holiday Ornament. Each ornament is not just a piece of decor; it's a symbol of hope, empowerment, and the beauty of artisan craftsmanship. Embrace the festive spirit while making a positive impact with this thoughtful addition to your holiday collection.
