Handmade in Chajul, El Quiche, Guatemala, this top will add a geometric and flashy style to your wardrobe. 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.

This pre-loved top was hand-woven on a back-strap loom, 100% cotton in a Royal Blue base. 
Iconography:  This stunning Huipil has a woven-embroidered design of Turkeys. 
The Guatemalan people see turkeys and peacocks as a sign of spirituality. Their noble nature will hold special meaning to someone who is in tune with their inner spirit or searching for peace within themselves. Birds are a common figure of protection in the Mayan culture. Great piece to add to your ethical wardrobe!
