Mayan Patzicia Cardigan: A Fusion of Tradition and Modern Style

This cardigan is a unique piece that bridges the gap between ancient Mayan heritage and contemporary fashion. Crafted from 100% organic cotton, this cardigan is repurposed from an original Mayan top, preserving its cultural significance. Let’s dive into the details:

• Color: Vibrant red with geometrical patterns in zig zag form, featuring shades of green, white, yellow, red, and purple.
• Design Elements:
  • Black Silk Fringes: The cardigan boasts delicate black silk fringes at the bottom, adding movement and elegance.
  • Zig Zag Velvet Adornment: A zig zag shape velvet adornment graces the front, paying homage to Mayan motifs.
• Origin: This cardigan is inspired by the traditional huipil worn by indigenous women in Patzicia, Chimaltenango, a cold region on the highlands of Guatemala. The huipil represents family, community, and the interconnectedness of all living beings.

• Festival Ready: Pair the Mayan Patzicia Cardigan with distressed denim shorts, a white tank top, and ankle boots. Add chunky silver jewelry for a bohemian vibe.

2. Artisanal Elegance:
