Introducing... Polyjuice! When we took over the business as new orders, the House Professors wraps was our first Girasol invoice. When it arrived we were startled to discover that the Weasley twins played an epic prank on us, and boy were we surprised when we found this beauty where we were expecting Professor Flitwick! This is the Weasley twin design previously done by Kali Designs for us, on the House wraps black warp... and it's been named Polyjuice by those who had it pre-ordered! Polyjuice is woven in Girasol's standard twill weave and is available in cuervo (black) weft (for now... though the Fred and George purple and orange may be joining it in the future)! 100% Cotton | Handwoven in Guatemala
We originally planned to go on a journey in Central America for 6 month, but it grew into a 2 years stay.
There remains among us a lasting affection for the region and a special loveof the Indians of Guatemala.
We started selecting cloth, textiles and handicrafts on the markets of the Guatemalan highlands to sell them in Mexico and later in Germany.
Our shop in Berlin opened 1984.
Through our continous stays in Mexico and Guatemala, we developed friendly relations to the families of the weaver and artisans.
The collaboration with the artisans is based on fair trade with the guarantee of continous orders.
