The huipil is a traditional female clothing of mesoamerica. It is a tunic-like garment made by stitching together anywhere from one to five pieces of cloth.
In precolumbian times it was widely worn by worn by indigenous women from central mexico to south america, by many different cultures including the Maya, Aztec, Huaxtec, Purépecha, Mixtec, Raramuri, Otomi or Zapotec peoples.
The huipil survived and is worn to this day by many peoples, including the Maya of Guatemala. Since the Spanish conquest the huipil evolved in many different directions - in some regions it became shorter to function as a blouse worn with an european style skirt, in some it became much longer to satisfy christian morality regardng female clothing.
This particular Huipil takes the traditional precolumbian form and lenght. It features a geometric diamond design - a design that symbolizes the universe and was considered sacred to the Maya and Mixtec.
Our huipil is sold as mod©, comes in 8 classic colors and with 6 different wooden or golden clasps. It was designed by me (A.Aeon) and Diana Herberg.
