One of my favorite stores for handmade Jewelry, Crafts and Textiles is MAYA Arte Nativo. They are located towards the end of Calle del Arco near La Merced Church. Address: Calle del Arco #35 Norte Antigua G. The owner is an Indigenous woman (who you will find still wears her traditional clothing as is common for all Guatemalan indigenous women- including those that are highly educated) who spent many years in Boston getting an education and working a local museum. Her English is very good, but it is her firm belief in selling well made products that makes me go to her again and again. Her prices are not the lowest, but also not the highest. The quality is exceptional. One example: I love traditional Guatemalan tablecloths. I have bought many from bargains to more expensive. After one laundry wash at home, they nearly disintegrate. Her tablecloths have lasted me for years and have kept their vibrant colors. Her bead work jewelry is unique and well made. Check out her store, it's packed with many little and big treasures.

En la calle del Arco de Santa Catalina, en la época de la colonia era un paso de comunicación y traslado de las novicias del convento de Santa Catalina para trasladarse de un lado a otro de la calle sin poder ser observadas por los ciudadanos del lugar. Actualmente, es una calle emblemática que se ha convertido en punto de interés de los turistas por su mayor atractivo cultural. En su recorrido, que inicia desde el parque central de la ciudad y culmina a tres cuadras del convento Iglesia La Merced.
