Chiapas Ole!






The embroidery on this folklorico skirt and top from the Chiapas region of Mexico is just stunning.  In twenty-eight years of business I have had only three of these in my shop.  It's folk art pieces like this that give me chills.  I love doing show-and-tell when someone expresses an interest in older hand work. They are so much better in person. Stop by for a tour!

Skirt & Blouse: large flowers and shields embroidered in vibrant silk thread on sheer netting, from Chiapas, Mexico
Hat: mini straw faintly striped sombrero
