Dia y Noche Handwoven Mixteca Tortilla Holder

Handwoven for the table. Rooted in family, faith, and tradition.

The Dia y Noche Tortilla Holder is woven entirely by hand by Doña Crecencia, a gifted Mixteca artisan who works alongside her sisters, daughter, and niece to carry forward a timeless Indigenous weaving tradition.

Its striking black-and-white artisanal pattern wraps around both the exterior and interior, transforming a simple table essential into something deeply personal. Made to hold and serve tortillas, this lidded basket brings beauty to family meals, celebrations, Sunday gatherings, and the everyday moments when food becomes a reason to come together.

No factory. No mass production.

Each piece is created by hand and carries the subtle variations that make it completely its own — a reflection of the hands that formed it and the tradition from which it came.

At ABBA Y AMIGO, we believe what we choose to bring into our homes can carry meaning. This tortilla holder is more than something beautiful for the table. It is a living expression of family, cultural integrity, feminine craft, and the dignity of work done slowly and intentionally.

ABBA Y AMIGO’s Mixteca collection is rooted in the hands and hearts of women.

Doña Crecencia creates these pieces alongside her sisters, daughter, and niece, passing knowledge from one generation to the next through the quiet strength of family and feminine craft.

When you choose one of these pieces, you are not simply purchasing a basket. You are honoring the person who made it, helping sustain a living tradition, and bringing into your home something formed through relationship rather than mass production.

Your purchase carries the mission forward

ABBA Y AMIGO is a faith-driven, women-led community built around the conviction that love should become tangible.

33% of profits support free apparel for people undergoing cancer treatment and survivors of sexual violence.

So this piece carries more than tortillas.

It carries a story of hands, family, dignity, generosity, and the belief that even the ordinary things we gather around can become places of love.

LOVE. BE HERE.
