Discover the beauty and heritage of Guatemala with this vintage San Juan Comalapa huipil, a rare and authentic example of handwoven Mayan textile art. Made on a traditional backstrap loom by indigenous women of the Kaqchikel Maya community, this artisan-made huipil features soft earth tones—warm browns, clay, and ochre—accented with deep burgundy stripes that reflect the highland palette of Comalapa, Chimaltenango.
This huipil is adorned with intricate Mayan symbols and bird motifs (tz’ikin), representing freedom, guidance, and the connection between the spiritual and natural worlds. These designs are not just decorative—they are sacred stories woven into fabric, echoing the Maya cosmovision, where humans, animals, and the cosmos are deeply interconnected.
Its versatile open-sided design allows for multiple styling options, making it perfect for modern, conscious wardrobes. Lightweight and breathable, this sustainable clothing piece can be worn year-round and styled with ease.
Styling Tips:
Pair with high-waisted pants or a flowy skirt for an effortlessly elegant boho look.
Layer it over a tank top, turtleneck, or simple dress—belted or loose—for timeless style.
Use as a sustainable fashion statement over swimwear or as a poncho for cooler evenings.
Accessorize with eco-friendly jewelry made from jade, clay, or recycled silver to honor the huipil’s natural palette.
This one-of-a-kind huipil is not just vintage clothing—it's a wearable piece of Guatemalan history. By wearing it, you support indigenous artisans, promote slow fashion, and preserve a living textile tradition rooted in ceremony, resilience, and respect for Mother Earth.
