What is a Yucatecan embroidered guayabera?
When it comes to men, the guayaberas, are those masculine embroidered shirts that are a development of the one-piece blanket shirts, traditionally used by the guajiros or Cuban peasants and by the Mayan peasants.
It is worth mentioning that these embroidered shirts are used in parties, celebrations or important meetings, since their style represents masculine elegance and power in society.
What is a Yucatecan Huipil?
The word huipil comes from the Nahuatl word huipilli, which means blouse or ornate dress, and it is precisely these elements that surround the Yucatecan terno, a costume even worn by the women of the region.
Often the embroidered dress can be seen in the religious celebrations that permeate the Yucatan peninsula, being in the traditional guilds and regional festivals of the villages when women use them at the time of dancing the jarana.
Break the fast-fashion cycle!
All Yucatecan embroidered dresses and shirts are handmade by native artisans of the region and members of Mayan communities. So each purchase represents a source of income for them and their families, this is where we put an end to fast fashion and its negative consequences.
