From the sacred hills of Oaxaca to prestigious galleries worldwide, these extraordinary Zapotec textiles blend ancestral artistry with timeless beauty. Each masterpiece is handwoven in Teotitlan del Valle, where indigenous artisans have perfected their craft over 1,000 years, using traditional motifs and natural dyes sourced from local plants.
In Teotitlan, weaving remains a cherished family tradition, with skills passed down through generations and most artisans still working from their home studios. Unlike machine-made rugs, each Zapotec weaving tells a unique story through its intricate patterns, reflecting both ancient symbolism and the weaver's artistic vision.
These rugs feature hand-spun wool techniques and time-honored patterns that showcase the sophisticated artistic legacy of the Zapotec people. By choosing a Zapotec rug, you're not just acquiring a beautiful piece for your home—you're becoming part of a centuries-old artistic legacy that continues to thrive in the heart of Oaxaca.

About Us
Women Owned & Operated
We knew we deserved better equipment and a community that saw us, heard us, valued us, and put us front and center. So we said goodbye to shrink-it-and-pink-it and toxic bro culture and said hello to something more: a community that values camaraderie over competition, solidarity over sending, and compassion over cuntery.
Performance Driven
We believe that the recipe for making a kick-ass pair of skis or snowboards has nothing to do with what's between your legs but what's between your ears and in your heart. We start with a concept that meets our unique needs and work with a team of engineers to bring our designs to life. We manufacture in reputable factories that prioritize the health and safety of their team and the environment. We test, bring in our Ambassadors and Athletes (did you know that our skis have been in the Olympics?), refine, and then deliver a finished product to you.
Building An Inclusive Community
From the beginning, we’ve been willing to do and say what our peers won’t. There is no place for the status quo, no room for hanging back, no time for wait or play it safe. In everything we create, we aim to make a positive impact in the world of snowsports and beyond. And that’s what makes us different. We're Coalition Snow, and we're the ones we've been waiting for.
