Tactic

Super lightweight huipil from the Tactic region. This beautiful huipil measures 30″ across the shoulders, and 24″ from the neckline to the bottom edges (folded). The neck opening is round and measures 7″ in diameter.

This huipil is different with a very open style weaving that results in a guaze-like texture with brilliant hand weaving with satin soft thread that features rows of ‘mayan stars’. The accent colors are glowing jewel and pastel colors of greens, pinks, blues, purples, yellows and more! The background, open-woven fabric is a deep brick-red cotton. There is an added piece of fabric around the bottom to extend the length of this huipil. Frequently this style of huipil (also like the huipiles from Coban) are worn untucked from the corte (skirt). This extra fabric was added so that the wearer can tuck the huipil into their skirt. It would be easy to carefully remove this extra fabric if one wishes.

This huipil is in very good used condition, the only flaws being the occasional pulled or loose thread. This is expected due to the delicate style of this weaving.

Quetzaltenango

Large colorful huipil with beautiful weaving and striking embroidery!! It is from the Quetzaltenango region of Guatemala (Frequently referred to as Xela). This stunning huipil measures 33″ across the shoulders, and 26 1/2″ from the neckline to the bottom edges (folded). The neck opening is round and measures 6″ in diameter. The sides are unstitched, but can easily be restitched if desired.

This brilliantly colored huipil is accented with hand-guided machine embroidery that features flowers around the neck and down the front and back on a woven background. The detailed embroidery on the collar is flowers of pink, purple and yellow with matching patterns on front and back. One side of the collar features a butterfly. The other side of the collar shows two birds. The woven background is full of brilliant colors of yellow/gold, blue, and radiant purple. The sleeves and collar are trimmed with black crochet trim.

This huipil is in very good used condition, with little sign of wear. There is a small repair done by the original owner where the collar meets the woven body of the huipil, just below the right-hand bird. The color is a perfect match, and it is hardly noticable. The lower white portion of the huipil has become a tad dingy in a few places. The colors of this huipil are still very brilliant and beautiful and the fabric is wonderfully soft.
