Handwoven Natural Dye Blues Wool Rebozo Mexico

Handwoven and naturally dyed 100% wool rebozo. This piece was woven on a traditional backstrap loom by Cirila Aragón Cortés from the Cozamalotl Collective in Hueyepan, Mexico. 

Each piece is created with deep respect for nature and a commitment to preserving ancestral techniques. The process is labor-intensive, from dyeing the wool with natural pigments to weaving on inherited looms, this piece took about 1.5 months to finish. Every piece reflects an unparalleled craftsmanship and heart.

Cozamalotl Collective Weaving

On the foothills of the Popocatépetl Volcano, a tradition of backstrap loom weaving continues through the hands of Cirila Aragón Cortés and her family. In the town of Hueyapan Morelos, Central Mexico, Cirila noticed the craft was fading with each generation. To preserve it, she and her daughter, Margarita Torres, founded the Cozamalotl collective.
