Traditional Oaxacan Short Huipil

Discover the essence of Oaxacan tradition with our exclusive brocade fabric, meticulously woven on a backstrap loom by the skilled hands of the community of San Juan Cotzocón Mixes, located in the northern highlands of Oaxaca. This beautiful fabric uses 20/2 gauge mercerized cotton yarns, which provide a soft and durable texture.

Each piece is a unique work of art, created with the brocade technique that is done weft by weft on the loom. The amount of yarn varies in each pattern, allowing the formation of intricate and detailed designs that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region.
The weavings are carefully woven together on two canvases and assembled by hand with a needle using the three-stitch joining technique, ensuring exceptional quality and strength. This meticulous process ensures that each piece is an authentic expression of Mixe craftsmanship.
Ideal for those who seek a connection to the rich textile tradition of Oaxaca and wish to carry with them a piece of history and culture.
