A rare vintage huipil from Patzún, Chimaltenango, featuring the iconic Maya calendar, a symbol of time, cycles, and cosmic order in Maya culture. This is the kind of textile that collectors dream of: meaningful, historic, and created with the artistry that Patzún is known for.
The Maya calendar embroidered on this huipil represents connection to ancestry, the passing of seasons, and the spiritual rhythm of life. For the Maya, time isn’t linear, it’s a circle. Every day carries its own energy, purpose, and story. Wearing a huipil with this symbolism is like carrying a piece of Indigenous wisdom and identity with you.
The colors are rich, warm, and deeply traditional to Patzún, specially the burgundy - earthy reds, purples, blues, yellows, and greens woven into bold stripes and framed by intricate neckline embroidery. Patzún textiles are celebrated for their strong color palettes and meaningful iconography, and this huipil is a perfect example of that heritage.
Because it’s open on the sides, it’s incredibly versatile. Wear it as a poncho-style top, layer it over dresses, style it with jeans, or use it as a statement piece for cultural events. It also displays beautifully as home décor for collectors who appreciate Maya craftsmanship.
This is a true collector’s piece, a wearable artifact of Guatemalan history, perfect for lovers of Maya textiles, Patzún embroidery, vintage huipiles, and meaningful artisan fashion.
Find Your Perfect Fit
Our Mayan tops are handcrafted using traditional weaving techniques, resulting in a beautiful, relaxed silhouette. Because these pieces do not follow standard factory sizing, we provide two ways to ensure you find the perfect fit.
1. Measure Your Body
Compare your total body circumference to the chart below to find your equivalent US Size.
| US Size (Number) | Fits Bust (Total Circumference) | Best For Letter Size |
| 0 – 2 | 32" – 33" | Extra Small (XS) |
| 4 – 6 | 34" – 35" | Small (S) |
| 8 – 10 | 36" – 37" | Medium (M) |
| 12 – 14 | 38" – 40" | Large (L) |
| 16 – 18 | 41" – 43" | Extra Large (XL) |
| 18 – 20 | 44" – 46" | 2XL / 1X |
2. The "Flat Lay" Method (Recommended)
The easiest way to know how a top will drape is to measure a shirt you already love.
-
Lay your favorite non-stretch top flat on a table.
-
Measure across the chest from armpit to armpit (this is the Flat Width).
-
Compare that number to the "Flat Width" listed in our product details.
Note on Handmade Items: Since each piece is individually handwoven, please allow for a slight variation of 0.5" to 1" in measurements. This uniqueness is part of the charm of artisanal textiles!
Why "Flat Width" Matters
If our Mayan top has a Flat Width of 22", it has a Total Circumference of 44".
-
If your bust is 36", this top will have a beautiful, oversized look with plenty of room.
-
If your bust is 42", this top will provide a more tailored, standard fit.
