Mexican stories in a huipil

An Embroidered Mexican Huipil Blouse, vintage clothes from El Itsmo de Tehuantepec This is an amazing piece and the most femenine of all clothes from Mesoamerica, The Huipil, This Tehuana Huipil is made out of a purple silky fabric, the cut of the pieces is pretty and simple a square, is a boxy hand embroidered top in traditional cadenilla and hand embroidered flowers, a statement piece in modern days. However, this contrasts with the absolute love and dedication of tons of stitches, handmade within a tradition just a few know how to achieve, they can be hand embroidered or feet-machine embroidered. Each huipil is totally unique, you can see through theembroidery work a whole life, a story from a ethnic group, history from a tradition a message from a culture. We do not upcycle the huipiles, we want to show them as a fashion garment as they are, This are vintage huipils and they are sold as they are. they are in a perfect vintage condition. Each is unique, do not miss it!! Aida Coronado Galeria Mexico Collection I AA
