Guatemala’s textiles carry centuries in every thread. Vibrant huipiles woven on backstrap looms, intricate fajas telling stories of highland villages—each pattern a fingerprint of heritage.

These aren’t just fabrics; they’re living history traveling the world. At K Marina Designs, we honor this legacy, weaving Guatemalan tradition into leather goods that carry culture across continents.

In Juan José’s workshop in Pastores, leather rests overnight to breathe. Patterns are traced by hand.

Each stitch pulled with intention, not speed.

His son and his good friend Juan Carlos work beside him, learning what he learned as a boy: shortcuts show, but legacy endures. This is craft as devotion—bags made like home feels.

The Nido Bag - an everyday right choice before the adventure.

Juan José Hernández—master leatherworker, teacher, and the heart of our workshop in Pastores, Guatemala.

With over 20 years transforming raw leather into timeless companions, his hands carry decades of skill, patience, and pride. Juan José doesn’t just craft bags—he pours tradition into every cut and stitch. Working alongside his sons, he’s passing down techniques learned in childhood, ensuring this beautiful craft lives on for generations to come.

When you carry a K Marina piece, you’re carrying his legacy. You’re supporting his family. You’re choosing craftsmanship that honors both heritage and the future.

This is what handcrafted with purpose truly means. 🌿
