This one-of-a-kind vintage huipil cape is a vibrant testament to the rich textile heritage of Chichicastenango, Guatemala. Expertly handwoven on a backstrap loom and finished with intricate hand embroidery, this piece tells a story in every stitch.
The fabric bursts with vivid magentas, deep purples, rich reds, and pops of turquoise, orange, and white, forming traditional Mayan geometric motifs and ancestral symbols. The embroidery features brocade patterns, a meticulous technique unique to the region, creating a raised, textured surface that highlights the artisanal quality.
This huipil cape features an elegant, scalloped neckline with black embroidery accents that frame the collar in soft curves, adding a feminine and regal touch. Flowing fringe along the hem and sides adds movement and flair, making it perfect as a statement layering piece or for bohemian and festival-inspired styling.
Ideal for collectors, conscious fashion lovers, and admirers of Mayan textiles, this authentic Chichicastenango cape is not only wearable art but a cultural treasure.
