Product Description
This authentic San Pedro La Laguna huipil from Guatemala is a stunning example of traditional Mayan weaving combined with modern design adaptation. Handwoven on a traditional backstrap loom, it features bright, colorful woven patterns and a beautifully hand-embroidered neckline — a unique finish rarely seen in vintage pieces.
Made from two woven panels and open at the sides, this huipil offers a comfortable, flowing fit with a naturally elegant drape. There is some yellowing along the bottom, which appears to be from past bleaching — a subtle detail that adds to its authentic vintage character.
This huipil captures the vibrant spirit of San Pedro La Laguna, where weaving is both art and storytelling. Every stitch carries the heritage of Mayan craftsmanship passed down through generations. A perfect choice for collectors, bohemian fashion enthusiasts, or as a striking handwoven textile display — a true one-of-a-kind piece of Guatemalan culture.
