Introducing our exquisite Hearts of Hope: Guatemalan Worry Dolls Set, crafted by the talented Lopez Garcia Family from Guatemala. This thoughtful collection of six quitapenas dolls is the ultimate handmade gift for friends or family, symbolizing your heartfelt wishes for their well-being.
The term quitapenas translates to ‘to remove worries’ in Spanish. As artisan Aura Lopez beautifully explains, the tradition involves taking a worry doll from its pouch, sharing your problems with it, and placing it under your pillow. The next day, you’ll feel lighter as your worries seem smaller.
Each set includes three male and three female dolls, each lovingly cradling a red heart. Dressed in vibrant traditional Guatemalan attire, these dolls embody the rich cultural heritage of Guatemala. They arrive in a charming pouch made from loom-woven cotton, making them not just a gift but a piece of art.
Please note that these dolls are handmade, so colors, sizes, and motifs may vary slightly. They are not toys and are not intended for children under 12 years old. Made with care from 100% cotton, polyurethane, tule wood, nylon, and kraft paper, these dolls are a perfect blend of tradition and artistry.
