Product name: Huipil in white with women design
Type of product: Blouse/traditional huipil, Mayan back-strap woven textile
Description (story of the item): This is a huipil or blouse made from two panels woven on a back-strap loom in the traditional pikb'il style of my ancestors. I wove it at my home in Tarpon Springs, FL, USA. It is a white-on-white cotton weave. The fine 100% cotton thread I use I have only been able to find in my home region of Guatemala due to the scarcity of weavers who weave in this tradition and the painstaking process of soaking the thread in a corn starch before setting up the loom to keep the fine threads from breaking. The designs featured here are from bottom to top: pacaya leaves, women/dolls, dog’s paw. I am trying to keep these ancient designs alive. There are threads hanging in the back side of the designs in the original way I was taught 25 years ago. It is very soft to wear, easy to put on, and you can wear it anywhere. You can wear it on top of your skirt or jeans. I wear mine all the time and I love them. Wash by hand, iron if needed. It took a month for me to weave. This is an original and one-of-a-kind piece.
