Let your outfit tell a story! The pattern of this embroidery is based on the traditional Universe design. The inner diamond has spirals on each side symbolizing “pepen”, the wings of a butterfly. In Mexican lore, the butterfly is a metaphor for transformation and the sun, it can also symbolize a female goddess!
Mexican textiles reflect a passion for color, pattern, and design. Using centuries-old techniques, traditional artisans still use vegetables, fruits, and barks to make natural dyes. Women weave intricate patterns into each piece with meaning dating back to Mayan times. Families pass the traditions of weaving from generation to generation. There is a true appreciation for tradition and the preservation of processes vital to keeping Mexican culture alive.
