The native term "ayate" describes loose-woven products such as nets, bags, and various cloths from the agave or century plant. As part of a living traditon that reaches back over 10,000 years, the styles and techniques for these artifacts are as old as Mesoamerican culture itself.

Cultivated in Mexico, the agave not only inspired the beginnings of acriculture, it was the wellspring of religion. The plant provided both needle and thread, fabric, furniture, baskets, mats, blankets, brushes, bridles, paper, soap, shelter, food, candy, drink, and medicine. Little wonder then that the Aztecs venerated the agave and personified it as the goddess Mayahuel.

From the hands of a native people and the heart of a sacred tradition, the quality and value of the ayate has endured and will survive well into the future. Try it and youll see
