The South of Mexico is famous for its beautiful embroidery handwork. The preferred motives are flowers, trees, animals, and organic shapes such as hearts and leaves. Artisans, mostly ladies, tend to use profusely colour in their thread. As the dresses and embroideries are handmade, there might be slight variations to the finish. It is part of the beauty of having handmade unique pieces. Your support is very important. Thanks to your purchase the artisans are able to keep their traditions alive and have a decent living while doing it.

Manta & Rebozo is the brainchild of Cecilia and her way to share Mexico’s rich history and culture through their beautiful handicrafts.
