The LUM Project

The LUM Project is a collection of leather and loom bags handcrafted with love by the nannies of an orphanage in Antigua, Guatemala. Each piece is created on traditional looms and finished with care, carrying the story of women who pour heart, dignity, and pride into their work.

These bags are more than accessories—they are symbols of resilience and hope. Every thread represents cultural heritage, every stitch a step toward empowerment. By carrying a LUM Project bag, you join a movement that honors artistry, uplifts women, and helps create a brighter future for children and families in Guatemala.

Each bag empowers Guatemalan women weavers and mothers by providing fair wages, meaningful employment, and the chance to sustain their families with pride. Handcrafted with care, our leather and loom bags celebrate heritage artistry while fueling a movement of purposeful consumerism. Every single purchase helps us include more women into the collective, creating ripples of change in villages where opportunities are limited but resilience and craftsmanship run deep.
