Trigo Embroidered Top - Wheat
The Trigo Top is a piece for the woman who knows a statement doesn't have to be loud. Distinguished by remarkable embroidery in a warm wheat tone, it's the kind of piece you keep forever — a garment that only gets better with each wear.
This traditional huipil is the work of master artisans working in partnership in the highlands of Guatemala. The cotton is woven on a backstrap loom, hand-dyed with natural elements like fruit and bark, and embroidered by hand.

Lark's note
I fell in love with this piece because I couldn't believe the amount of embroidery on it — six rows of flowers on the collar. Most huipils have two to three. The Trigo is generous in size, so it's best suited for taller women. But one of the things I love most about huipils is how "flexible" the sizing is — they're made to live with a woman and adapt to her body through all its stages.
Guatemalan weavers are mainly women, who derive natural dyes for their threads from vegetables and minerals. They still use the Mayan back-strap loom along with traditional spinning and embroidery techniques.
