KORBATA TIME: MADE WITH STYLE & LOVE IN GUATEMALA

When you think of stylish ties, the last thing that comes to mind is Central America, but, hopefully, this story will change your mind. For Guatemalan tie making company KorBáta, a tie is not merely an accent piece or an afterthought.

KorBáta’s story begins by the serendipitous meeting of two entrepreneurs, Jennifer Menegazzo and Diego Arias. Both of Guatemalan descent, they found a shared love for their country, the beauty of its land, the Mayan culture and Guatemalan art. Combining their talents and efforts, they started a small artisan project and named the company KorBáta. Their work has been most gratifying because they have not only brought their dream to fruition but are helping to sustain Guatemala’s rich weaving history and providing work for those in rural areas of Guatemala.
