Purepecha Rebozo Shawl — Blue Stripe Handwoven Cotton with Silk Fringe (Michoacán) Ruby_earringsOne of the most beautiful Purepecha rebozos with fringe from Michoacn, Mexico that I have ever seen. The combination is spectacular. These come from a Purepecha artisan from Michoacan. This is a traditional style of rebozo that has been produced for many years. It is 100% cotton with rayon and with silk fringe and feathers. This is woven on a backstop loom and takes about a month to make. The fringe on each end is called flowers. All of these

they carry the entire look without effort

Technique: Hand-detailed Oaxacan silverwork

Handcrafted in Taxco

Filigrana oaxaqueña arrived in Oaxaca via Spanish silversmiths in the 1500s and was absorbed into the city's craft identity so completely that it became one of its defining art forms

Wear it alone on a bare wrist where the form can be seen clearly

The 1940s represent the peak creative period of Taxco silversmithing
