Corte

Large and beautiful woven corte, or mayan skirt, ikat design with beautiful colors with a super soft feel. The corte is a wrap-around skirt that consists of a cut of cloth usually joined to form a tube into which the woman steps. Excess material is wrapped around the body and folded at the waist in pleats, and tied with a faja (belt).

This huge corte measures 34″ wide and 70″ long (doubled). Cortes are sewn together to make a tube. This corte has the opening at the long sides as shown in the picture of the corte hanging. If the stitching joining the sides of the tube were removed, this fabric would measure approximately 34″ by 140″ laid out flat.

This corte is beautiful with its ikat design that is accented with colors of red, purple, yellow, and green on a black and white ikat design. This heavier fabric is slightly worn which gives it a soft feel. Fabric from cortes can be used in a variety of ways, such as table covers, bed covers, curtains, throw pillows, etc.

This corte is in excellent used condition, with very little sign of wear.
