A stunning traditional güipil! It is incredible to think about the amount of work put into this richly-brocaded textile treasure.
This pre-loved piece is being sold by the weaver herself, who is a member of the cooperative of weavers from the town. Filled with supplementary weft brocade figures, this piece blends the colors very nicely, full of brocaded birds. Each pattern carries a unique traditional meaning. See what the weavers said about themhere on our blog.
The neck opening is a bit snug but physically still large enough for Sucy to put on and take off without difficulty, adorned with meticulous hand-embroidery. Some of the selvages are cleanly finished on the loom (woven), and others have been cut and then secured with machine stitching.
This huipil is beautiful to wear and/or use as decoration. Please do not cut this handwoven gem as it is full of tradition and heritage.
