Oxchuc huipil dress
$228.00 USD
More about this piece
This dress is a traditional garment made using the ancestral backstrap loom technique, a weaving method used by indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica since pre-Hispanic times. In Tzeltal communities in Chiapas, such as Oxchuc, this technique allows for the creation of textiles with great precision while the artisan works the loom attached to her own body. The huipil is made with organic cotton yarn, a natural material that offers freshness, softness, and durability. Its loose and comfortable design reflects the functionality of traditional garments, adapted to the climate and daily life of the region. Approximately 101 cm long, this piece can be worn as a dress, combining textile tradition, cultural identity, and contemporary artisan elegance.
Features:
- Technique: Traditional backstrap loom
- Material: Organic cotton yarn
- Length: 101 cm ± 3 cm
