Description
Show off a contemporary yet ancestral style with this Mexican Handcrafted Blouse, which stands out for its traditional geometric patterns. This piece combines the comfort of folkloric attire with the precision and symbolism of pre-Hispanic and loom designs.
Ideal for creating a structured Boho-Chic look, this blouse is a manifestation of textile art, often originating in states with strong weaving traditions such as Oaxaca, Chiapas, or Guerrero.
Key Features:
Geometric Design: Instead of flowers, the focus is on the repetition of lines, triangles, diamonds, fretwork, and steps (similar to patterns found in archaeological ruins or in Zapotec and Mayan textiles). These patterns are presented in stripes or covering key areas of the blouse.
Handcrafted Technique: The patterns are typically achieved through:
Backstrap Loom Weaving: The designs are created directly by weaving the fabric, giving it an unparalleled texture and drape.
Chain Stitch or Cross Stitch Embroidery: With colorful threads that form complex geometric structures.
One Size (Unitalla): The blouse has a loose and wide cut, following the tradition of the huipil or peasant blouse to ensure a comfortable fit and adaptability to various sizes and body types.
Materials: Usually made of manta (cotton), wool, or lightweight acrylic yarns. The base fabric is usually a solid color (white, black, or beige) to make the geometric design stand out.
This garment is perfect if you’re looking to celebrate Mexican textile heritage with a visually striking design and a touch of pre-Hispanic art.
