Lonely Planet review for Sna Jolobil

Next to Santo Domingo, Sna Jolobil exhibits and sells some of the very best huipiles, blouses, skirts, rugs and other woven items, with prices ranging from a few dollars for small items to more than M$32,000 for the best huipiles (the fruit of many months’ work). Sna Jolobil is a cooperative of 800 indigenous women weavers from the Chiapas highlands, founded in the 1970s to foster the important indigenous art of backstrap-loom weaving. It has revived many half-forgotten techniques and designs.

    Museum quality and prices

    latiagringa recommends this,

    For your average shopper there are many coops much easier on the pocket - I saw a light blouse Iiked - $400 USD! All the work by the women represents a lot of time where ever you buy it. I would shop at other coops after visiting here.
