VIBRANT COLORS OF MEXICO
SUMMER DRESSES FULL OF LIFE
The Huipil is the traditional dress worn in Southern Mexico. There are as many variations and colors as the communities that weave them. Each huipil tells a story and the motifs woven in them are part of the iconography from the different Indigenous communities of the area. From the Mixtecs and Zapotecs in Oaxaca, to the Mayas in Yucatan and the Tzotzil in Chiapas, these dresses are woven into women’s lives.
Radiant and colorful, they are an ode to life and joy. A handcrafted treasure to keep for a lifetime.
A TALE OF ARTISANAL LEGACY
🇲🇽 WOVEN BY THE MIXTEC WOMEN OF OAXACA
The huipil is entirely handcrafted using a traditional backstrap loom and it can take up to 8 weeks to finish a single dress. It is a heritage transmitted from mother to daughter and that requires an exceptional talent and mental agility.
Made without any pattern whatsoever or design program, the huipil is the pure result of each artisan’s vision and emotions.
Maison Mitla wants to help preserve this heritage by showcasing the artisan’s incredible skills. We firmly believe that empowering women is key for social development and well being. This is why it is the artisans that set the price for their art as well as organizing the work pace according to their priorities.
