Give your table something worth noticing. These handcrafted upcycled denim coasters are made by skilled artisans at UPAVIM Crafts in Guatemala, using reclaimed cotton from The New Denim Project® — a third-generation textile mill that turns factory fabric scraps into beautiful, usable material. Each set of four is one-of-a-kind, with patchwork quilted patterns that bring a warm, rustic character to your home. They also make a thoughtful, planet-friendly gift for anyone who cares about where their things come from.

🏭 The Story Behind the Material
The New Denim Project® is a third-generation Guatemalan textile mill with a circular manufacturing approach. Rather than letting denim and clothing scraps from local factories go to waste, they sort, clean, and break the fabric down into raw fibers, then spin those fibers into new yarn — all without harmful chemicals or synthetic dyes. UPAVIM Crafts uses these eco-responsible fabrics to create Fair Trade certified homewares that support sustainable livelihoods in Guatemala.
