ixöq® (ee-sh-auk), meaning woman in the Mayan languages Kaqchikel and Tz’utujil, is a women-owned and operated social enterprise melding modern design with artisanal craft. We create unique, functional and thoughtfully designed goods, woven from recycled plastic.
Each piece is conceived & designed by ixöq in the heart of D.C. and brought to life by artisans in Guatemala. As a certified Fair Trade business, we are committed to preserving traditional craftsmanship while creating modern pieces made to be used, loved, and lived with every day.
Katie's picks
ixöq moves with intention: guided by Fair Trade principles that honors the hands & history behind each piece.
