Experience the rare beauty of our authentic Mayan Huipil tops from Chajul, Quiché, Guatemala. Handwoven on a traditional back-strap loom with 100% cotton, this vintage piece showcases a black base, free from dyes. Directly sourced from skilled weavers in the remote village of Chajul, each top embodies heritage and artistry.
Finding these Huipils in mint condition is a rarity, making them a true treasure for those who value indigenous vintage textiles. Own a piece of Guatemalan history and wear tradition with pride.
Pair this sustainable top with denim or linen for a relaxed day out, or style it with a skirt and boots for a chic evening look. However you wear it, this timeless garment will turn heads and highlight your commitment to slow fashion.
The soft, cool fabric is a favorite among our collection. The top's woven-embroidered design features a Mayan design of a Horse and Mayan Birds. In some Mayan communities, the horse can represent strength, power, and speed. It can symbolize nobility, leadership, and the ability to navigate different terrains. Horses may also be associated with the spirit world and journeys between realms. Great piece to add to your ethical wardrobe!
The base material is 100% cotton; making it a thicker material, yet very soft. Wear it with denim or linen pants for a casual picnic day in the sun, or spice it up with a skirt and boots for a fun night out on the town! Either way you wear it, heads will turn towards your boho-stylish self.
