This is a spectacular, authentic Huipil from Chajul, Quiche Guatemala.

This pre-loved top was hand-woven on a back-strap loom with "Aleman" cotton in a Banana Yellow base. Please note that this top is a lot heavier than our traditional Chajul tops that are super soft and light. This top is 100% cotton yet silky soft.

Iconography: This stunning top has a woven-embroidered design of various Mayan Peacocks. The Guatemalan people see peacocks as a sign of spirituality. Their noble nature and musical colors will hold special meaning to someone who is in tune with their inner spirit or searching for peace within themselves. Great piece to add to your ethical wardrobe or use as an art-wall hanging!

*Please review measurements below to ensure proper fit. All sales are final.

Measurements on flat surface: Sizes are a "fits like" guide and not a standard measurement

This top feels like a MEDIUM but can easily be worn as a SMALL top also!
Bust (armpit to armpit): 21" inches wide
Length: 19"-21" inches long- please note that the front part is shorter than the back.
Neck Opening: The opening of the neck has been tailored opened for a more comfortable fit.

Condition: Great vintage condition with a some loose threads and wear. The bottom part has some loose threads but does not affect the structure of the blouse. Please note that this top has some very faint pen marks; not that noticeable but please see photos.

This vintage Huipil was personally purchased by Angelica, founder of Tesoros Maya. This Huipil was ethically sourced and the artisan was paid fair price.

Please note: The entire piece is genuine hand woven and hand embroidered. Many Huipiles are now embroidered using sewing machine which can also be referred to as 'hand made'. This piece is made entirely without the use of machine.

CARE:

This Huipil was 100% handmade from beginning to end; therefore naturally there will be some imperfections. You could see some loose threads, DO NOT pull just snip with scissors. Or you can use BLOUSE SNAG REPAIR NEEDLE to repair weaving stiches.
For a better care, we recommend hand wash

Perfect Reusable Bag

I purchased 3 of these bags. This bag is the perfect reusable bag for going to a market. Fold it up and always have a stylist tote. I put one in my travel bag and the other stays in my car. My daughter snatched one too. I get many compliments.
