Med Sz Hand Embroidered Peasant Blouse Our Lady of Guadalupe Nahua Puebla Mexico

Description

I recently got in a shipment from Puebla
with a group of traditional blouses....
. This one was was
made in the Nahua community of Xaltepec in Puebla Mexico
.  On the front the image of the
Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
has been created using
Tecnica de Bordado Hilvanado
/ Basted Embroidery Technique. And using the same technique
the artist has created an image of the
Virgin Mary and Child
on the back.  This extraordinary blouse was made by a woman named
Margarita Cruz
.
It measures;
15 inches across the shoulders and 21 inches from arm pit to arm pit (total 42 inches around) and 24 inches Long.
It will fit a Small to Medium Size woman.
This Blouse is a wonderful example of
contemporary fashion trends
such as; South Western, Frida Kahlo, Hippie, Santa Fe, Peasant, Boho Chic, Cow Girl Style!
Hand Wash
with a mild soap.... line dry!!!
By purchasing items made in Mexico you are
helping these Nahua women support their families and save their cultural heritage and traditions.
