The work of Arturo Alvarez is uncommon because its raw material is maguey fiber, also known as “pita”. He makes messenger bags, belts and laces with a weaving technique that is almost forgotten, so his pieces represent a preservation of tradition. In 2001 he won the first place in the Domingo de Ramos Contest, in Ziracuaretiro.
