What to know about Chamula

Made by Mexican artisan cooperatives

Indigenous artisans in and around Chiapas hand-spin, hand-dye and hand-knit the Merino wool, weave textiles on foot-pedal looms and build the leather huaraches.

One of Yuki Matsuda's four labels

Founded after the designer's 1990s travels in rural Mexico, it sits alongside Yuketen, Monitaly and Epperson Mountaineering under his Meg Company in California.

Small batches, no two identical

Production stays deliberately limited and handwork means individual pieces vary, so what you buy is closer to a one-off than a repeatable stock item.

Brand facts

Chamula is an artisanal knitwear, footwear and accessories label founded by designer Yuki Matsuda after his 1990s travels through rural Mexico, and one of four brands under his California-based Meg Company alongside Yuketen, Monitaly and Epperson Mountaineering. Named after the Chiapas township of San Juan Chamula, it works with Indigenous Mexican artisans who hand-spin, hand-dye and hand-knit Merino wool sweaters, weave textiles on foot-pedal looms, and build leather huarache sandals. Output stays small-batch, and pieces vary individually. The brand remains active, releasing a Buck Mason huarache collaboration in 2025.
