Huipil 44: Tactic

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

This is a pre-loved traditional huipil being sold by the weaver herself. The three-panel style each handwoven with four selvages is typical of Tactic, Alta Verapaz, and makes for easy and beautiful wearing paired with high-waisted bottoms. All four selvages are meticulously finished on the loom, showing excellent skills by the weaver.

The black base makes this huipil easy to wear in modern settings. Figures include dogs, maxán leaves used to wrap traditional tamales, seeds, and more. 

The neck opening is large enough for comfortable wearing. We think this piece fits like size M, but please note that the style is short.
