This vintage Huipil Table Runner was personally purchased by Angelica, founder of Tesoros Maya. This Huipil table runner was ethically sourced and the artisan was paid fair price.
Please note: The entire piece was genuine hand woven and hand embroidered, and then sewn at the edges. Many Huipiles are now embroidered using sewing machine which can also be referred to as 'hand made'. The original blouse piece was made entirely without the use of machine. It is a genuine antique and therefore shows some signs of age and loose thread but has no holes or repairs and is in remarkably good condition considering it's age.

I love these Kimono’s. I wear them over my workout clothes, so then I can stop at the Grocery store on my way home. I also pack in my travel bag, to wear on a cool night or as my robe. I get many compliments.
