At Antigua Threads, our belts are handcrafted by Guatemalan artisans using a 3,000-year-old Mayan weaving technique. Each belt takes a full day to weave and is hand-cut, stitched, and signed. Guaranteed for life.
"I love my Antigua Thread belt! I get more compliments on it than I can count. The colors are vibrant yet have a relaxed and vintage feel. It also feels great that my belt purchase is giving back to the people of Guatemala!"
Jacob, Washington, DC
Each belt is a testament to skills passed down through generations, a true artwork, not just an accessory. No two belts are the exact same; your belt is one of a kind.
"I was delighted to find this beautiful, authentic belt handmade in Guatemala. I bought it for my boyfriend and he LOVED it. From a nice dinner out to horseback riding in Idaho - this belt comes with us everywhere!"

Our belts are made from top-grain vegetable-tanned leather, sourced from the most sustainable tannery in the Americas, and delivered in biodegradable packaging.
"I have worn this belt every day since it arrived a few months ago. Other companies are charging $200+ for similar products and patterns, and these deliver with no sacrifice to the quality. I have referred these to many friends and will continue to do so. Great belts!"
Dillon, Charlotte, NC
Every belt comes signed by its artisan, a testament to the skill, passion, and dedication poured into each piece. It's an heirloom quality accessory, narrating the tales of ancient Mayan traditions, guaranteed for life.
