Guate Collection

Co-founder Barbara Jean Shirley has had the eye-opening and life-changing opportunity to spend some time in several cities in Guatemala doing mission work. Barbara Jean’s first mission trip to Guatemala was in 2015. She says that within minutes, she fell in love with the people and the country as she worked among them. She saw first hand the daily challenges that these people face to survive. Barbara Jean is excited to announce that Live Hooked will be partnering with Bare Hands Bear Fruit, the nonprofit that she has had the honor to volunteer with for the past several years. BHBF works with villages in Guatemala in need and decides, with them what they need. Live Hooked is honored to ensure that we will be giving back financially to supporting missionaries/organizations who desire not only to “give a man a fish,” but rather to “teach a man to fish”. By purchasing a product from the Guate collection, you will be supporting projects in Guatemala. Stay tuned to find out more about the projects

The Guate collection was started to provide sustainable fashion while helping artisans and their families. All of our Guate products are exclusively produced in Guatemala. Our bags are handmade from huipils, which is the traditional Mayan blouse worn by women. We pride ourselves in handpicking each huipil and leather to create a durable, one of a kind piece. At Live Hooked, we want to invest in people, create work opportunities where work is scarce, and to help provide them with a steady income.

The art of hand weaving for huipils is an important part of the Guatemalan culture. The threads used for weaving are naturally dyed using local plants and seeds. Each huipil generally takes six to nine months to complete. Mayan villages in Guatemala has its distinctive weaving pattern and design, making it easier to determine a women’s home village. Each artisan, however, adds their personality to the textile through colors, designs, and patterns, making each huipil unique.

Did you know?

Approximately 85% of women in the adult entertainment industry were sexually abused as children and approximately 73% of women in prostitution have been raped more than five times. The second largest global organized crime today is the trafficking of women. Trafficking of women is generating an estimate of $12 billion dollars each year.

There are more women behind bars than at any time in US history. A majority of these women have faced many trials like physical abuse, sexual abuse, addiction, mental illness, or homelessness. Though these women are in prison, they are not alone
