 Our concept is based on authentic Mayan ancestry.  Using actual Guipils, the garments of Mayans and their descendants in Guatemala, we are able to bring the appeal and influence of the ancient world to silhouettes and styles of today.  Because we use vintage materials that can never be replicated, the individuality of each pattern/colorway lends itself to one-of-a-kind pieces. 

Chak Chel is an integration of cultural inspiration and the forward thinking movement of our New World, termed, Today.

A fusion of ancient Mayan culture with exotic worldly imagery, its handcrafted styles exemplify a line that will set trends, not follow them.  With exclusive design, packaging and, distribution, it will provide a unique designer brand to the world through ancient inspiration. 

The most recent injection of creativity leads us on a Mayan expedition of ruins and customs carried on today, evoking spirits past.  Their effects allude to finery and grandeur; strength and wisdom; destiny and passion.  Stories soon to be told will echo the tales and treasures of our latest and cherished collection, Colección Chi Chi. 

We've introduced new silhouettes, textures, and facets all yet, maintained the quality, feel, and reason for enchantment currently found with Chak Chel.

The first ever Nolcha Retail Space has opened it’s doors in NYC’s hot Nolita shopping district. With black bricks to set off the precious metals and gold gilding to accent the texture of the fine handbags, this space is more than just a place to come and shop.

It is a venue of re-invention, a place where the consumer can grab special pieces to supplement their wardrobe and feel they truly have found a unique gem. More importantly, it is a home for the emerging designer, where meetings and trunk shows are welcome, press that pop by just to see what’s new are encouraged and retail buyers who want to truly visualize new talent on a sales floor can come and investigate.

“We wanted classic with an edge. Flirty little jewelry items that go with a cocktail dress, handbags that belong on Page Six and unisex items for the busy world of commuters. The idea that there is something for everyone and that the only trend we follow is really quality goods done with unique finishings has become something that I am proud of. Instead of following editor’s picks, we are picking what editors should follow,” said Lynn Furge, Creative Director of Nolcha, who was responsible for selecting the chosen few for the retail space.
