Description
LOLA Y TULA, where Mexican meets modern. Designing and collaborating directly with our artisan partners to create one of kind, ethically made pieces that celebrate the beauty and integrity of Mexico and its people, while continuing our commitment to sustainability and responsibility.
This hand-woven, luxurious 'Huipil' or dress is created in San Juan Colorado, Oaxaca. Each style is handcrafted with natural dyes and woven into 100% cotton cloth using the ancient weaving technique of a backstop loom. The soft pastels accented in bright neon colors make for a playful yet sophisticated statement. Made to drape beautifully in a naturally oversized tunic or caftan shape, belted at the waist for a more fitted look.
No two are the same making each Huipil completely original. This sustainable and responsible process is created by a circle of indigenous women who are paid fair wages and are able to support their families while passing down their cultural traditions to the following generation.
