Girl's Huipil 12: 6-9yo

//A new Artisan Direct listing from our partners in Tactic!//

This is a pre-loved traditional huipil made specifically for a young girl, and it is being sold by the weaver herself. It is nice and soft from use, with slight fading from wera.

The three-panel style each handwoven with four selvages is typical of Tactic, Alta Verapaz, and makes for easy and beautiful wearing paired with all kinds of bottoms. All four selvages are meticulously finished on the loom, showing excellent mastery by the weaver.

Traditionally, huipiles of this style from Tactic are worn with high-waisted gathered corte, but we think these blouses are great to combine also with jeans and shorts. The loose fit is great for the active girl. 

We think this blouse would roughly fit girls 6-9 years old well.

Brocaded figures include seeds, flowers, and birds. Handwoven and being sold by Delmi.

Please note that modeled images were taken with a smaller huipil, and she is 3 years old.

Material: Cotton blend

Care: Hand wash separately and line dry or lay flat to dry inside out. Colors should not bleed, but best to be careful not to damage handwovens.
