Vintage Top Huipil - Nebaj

$95.00

This light-weight Mayan blouse (Huipil) was handcrafted using a 100% cotton base in Cobalt Blue.  It features a stunning geometric embroidery around the collar, traditionally known from the Mayan village of Nebaj, Guatemala.

This top is more popular with the younger Mayan generation because it is light and affordable - but be ware, the neckline is not handwoven; it is a machine applique. Nonetheless, this top is beautiful and you can wear it with denim or linen pants for a casual picnic day in the sun, or spice it up with a skirt and boots for a fun night out on the town! Either way you wear it, heads will turn towards your boho-stylish self.
