This hand woven, luxurious 'Huipil' or dress is created in San Juan Colorado, Oaxaca. Each style is hand crafted with natural dyes and woven into 100% cotton cloth using the ancient weaving technique of a backstop loom. The soft pastels accented in bright neon colors make for a playful yet sophisticated statement. Made to drapebeautifullyin a naturally oversized tunic or caftan shape, belted at the waist for a more fitted look.
It can take up to one month to make a single SJ Huipil, not including the time spent boiling the dyes, hand cleaning and spinning yarn andembroidering. This lengthy process iswhy these pieces are limited, rare and one of a kind.Many dye plants are seasonal and can only be found during certain months.No two are the same making each Huipil completely original.
This sustainable and responsible process is created by a circle of indigenous womenwho are paid fair wages and are able to support theirfamilies while passing down their cultural traditions to the following generation.
