San Ildefonso Ixtahuacán

Beautiful hand woven vintage huipil from the region of San Ildefonso Ixtahuacán located in the department of Huehuetnango. This huipil measures 33″ across the shoulders, 19″ from the neckline to the bottom edge (folded). This measurement includes the 3″ of fringe all along the bottom edge. The neck opening is diamond shaped and measures 4 1/2″ along each of the 4 sides.

This heavier huipil is woven with various multi-colored diamonds throughout the body. The collar area is accented with hand embroidered flowers of pinks, greens, yellows and blues. The edges of the cotton panels are woven with colors of brick-red and orange. The background fabric is a heavier white cotton.

The style of this huipil is to be worn untucked, hanging over the corte or skirt.

Additional photos can be found here.

This huipil is in good to fair condition. There are no worn areas nor loose threads, but the colors have run in many places leaving stains and spots throughout the white cotton bodice. This is a reflection of its vintage condition.

Huipil from San Ildefonso Ixtahuacán #24

Posted by Ixchel in HUIPILES, San Ildefonso Ixtahuacán, SOLD

Very stunning embroidered huipil from the San Ildefonso Ixtahuacán region of Guatemala, located in the department of Huehuetenango. This huipil measures 31 1/2″ across the shoulders, 20″ from the neckline to the bottom edges (folded). The neck opening is square and measures 5″ x 5 1/2″.

This huipil has elaborate embroidery that features various multi-colored diamonds throughout the body and detailed flowers at the neckline. The colors of the flowers shine like stained glass. The randas that hold the panels together are striking in alternating colors of orange, pink, blue, and yellow, with sections of black in between each color. The sleeves are decorated in a similar fashion as the body with multi-colored squares that contain the various diamond shapes. The background fabric is white cotton.

This huipil is used, but it is in very good condition, with slight signs of wear at the neckline with a few loose threads, and a few faint stains at the bottom and on one side.
