This exquisite huipil is crafted from black linen fabric, offering a refined silhouette that highlights the beauty of its traditional construction.
It is made using the ancestral cadenilla technique, a distinctive embroidery method that reflects the artistry, precision, and cultural depth of Indigenous textile work.
Each piece requires 7 days of dedicated craftsmanship, a testament to the patience, intention, and mastery woven into every stitch. This huipil was created by Perla López Oviedo, an Ikoots artisan from San Mateo del Mar, a coastal community in Oaxaca celebrated for its powerful textile heritage and its profound connection to tradition and the sea.
