ABOUT THIS BACK STRAP LOOMED INDIGENOUS TEXTILE

This 100% cotton striped green striped rebozo or shawl is an authentic sample of fine Mexican Indigenous Textile Art. It was crafted in Chiapas, Mexico using the pre hispanic back strap loom technique.

The textile can be used as a garment (rebozo / shawl, scarf) or as a home decor element as table runner.

Making each piece takes years of knowledge and days of dedication. With your shopping you support the work of indigenous families, with whom we work directly on a fair trade basis.
