//A new Artisan Direct listing from our partners in Cobán!//
What a gorgeous piece with a classic black base adorned with colorful stitches.
This is a beautiful new handwoven cotton blouse made by combining two panels woven on a backstrap loom by our partner weavers up in Cobán. The gentle cotton open weave base is called "calado." It is embellished with floral embroidery full of French knots on the neckline and sleeves.
Note that both the handwoven panels have all four clean selvage ends, a technically challenging feat that is laborious. The end results in structurally strong textiles that reduce waste as all panels are used to their fullest extent.
This blouse fits loosely like US size M.
Measurements:
Width: 24 inches
Length: 24 inches
Material: Cotton base, cotton blend embroidery thread and floss.
