Guatemalan Worry Dolls

Tell your worries to someone who will keep them safe.

There is an old Guatemalan tradition that says: if you share your worries with a worry doll before you go to sleep, the doll will take on your worries so you can rest. In the morning, the worries are gone.

These beautifully handmade Guatemalan Worry Dolls are crafted by artisans in Guatemala, each one slightly different and full of character. Made with vibrant hand-woven textile fabric and dressed in traditional Mayan colours, they carry with them centuries of folklore and a quiet kind of magic.

Each doll arrives nestled inside its own handwoven drawstring pouch, making it ready to gift or to keep on your bedside table, in your bag, or tucked into a pocket for the moments when you need a little comfort most.

A meaningful gift for anyone going through a big change, carrying a heavy load, or simply in need of a reminder that their worries do not have to be carried alone.
