O\/S","description":"Huipiles made using the “llorado” technique and dyed with cochineal are originally from Santiago Ixtayutla, in the Costa Chica region of Oaxaca, Mexico. This garment is made by women from the Tacuate-Mixteca  indigenous community and is characterized by its brocades dyed with natural pigment. Its name, “llorado,” comes from the belief that the thread “cries” or fades when washed. \n\nCochineal is a crimson-red dye derived from the dried bodies of female Dactylopius coccus insects, which are scale insects that parasitize Opuntia cacti. Native to the Americas, these insects produce carminic acid to deter predators, which is harvested for food coloring (Natural Red 4, E120) and cosmetics. \n\nFemale insects are harvested, dried, and crushed to produce the dye, a process that is highly labor-intensive.\n\nHistorically used by Indigenous peoples in Mexico for textiles, it became a valuable trade commodity in the 16th century, second only to silver.\n\nGive yourself the opportunity to wear a unique garment, from the hands of the artisan to wardrobe.\nThe effort and fatigue contributed by women artisans should be valued.\nThe backstrap loom Huipil is not expensive, it is a wearable art.   \nIt is more than clothing; it is a symbol of cultural identity, resistance, and artistry, often representing the weaver's community, marital status, and social standing.\n\n\n                       ●●●●●●●●●●●● NOTICE ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●\nImage created with AI.
