Huipil Teal & Cream Handwoven Back Strap Loom Mayan Larrainzar Chiapas Mexico

Description

This High Quality Elaborate Huipil was
Handwoven on a Back Strap Loom in the community of the San Andres Larrainzar
in the Highlands of Chiapas. This is a striking Huipil with the details done in
Teal Blue on a Creamy White base.
I purchased this huipil directly from
Fidencia Pérez Hernández
the Mayan woman who wove this extraordinary garment.
Please note the length is the back is longer than the length in the front...
this is convenient for those of us who need a little more coverage in the back... It's a real beauty!!!
It measures; 29 inches across
(total 58 inches around) and the
length
in the front is 34 inches long and the length in the back is 38 inches Long.
This huipil will fit a Large to 2XL size woman.
The Back and Front are Identical...
This huipil is a great Statement piece reflecting various fashion trends; Boho Chic, Santa Fe Style, Hippie, Cow Girl, Frida Kahlo inspired an of course Traditional Mexican Fiesta wear!!!
This is a Win Win scenario. You get to own a beautiful hand woven Huipil, while supporting these Mayan women save their cultural heritage and traditions.
Hand Wash only, use a mild soap and dry flat.  Press with a cool iron....
