Just like our tallit bags, our tefillin bags are woven on the ancient backstrap loom by our weavers from San Rafael. They feature a brocaded accent piece in the center. Brocade is an intricate and painstaking technique, whereby the weavers weave a background and a foreground simultaneously. Carrying your tefillin in this beautiful, fair trade bag is an act of Tikkun Olam: fair trade allows the weavers to earn a livelihood that empowers them, helps them raise their families out of poverty, send their children to school, and continue working within the Mayan culture that they love and respect. Available in assorted colors
