Traditional Mexican Clothes

To make traditional Mexican Clothes most of the states of Mexico have their own culture, handmade products and traditional clothing. The art of making handcrafted products extends back well into the pre-Hispanic period. For instance, it has relationships with several groups of indigenous people living in each state.

Most indigenous girls learn to weave and embroider clothes during their childhood. They start to make simply designed clothes for everyday wearing. Once they are adults, they make complicated and decorated garbs. Traditionally, women artisans make handmade products in their own homes in conjunction with other of their domestic duties.

Traditional Mexican clothes are still made by traditional methods and for the wearing of local people. The learning includes the preparation of the fibre such as carding and dying, and handwoven cloth made on backstrap looms. The textiles used to make clothes are mostly cotton, wool natural dyes.

The embroidery designs may contain old symbolic images from the Mayan or Christian worldviews. Originally, the design of Mexican clothes was thought for wearing those in high temperatures. So, the clothing kept cool for both people living in the desert climate of northern Mexico and people living in the tropical climate of southern Mexico.

Clothes were made mostly from cotton and dyed with natural components found in local plants and animals. However, after the Spanish colonization of Mexico, silks and wools became popular as clothing materials.

The Clothing is made in the State of Chiapas Mexico. Chiapas is located in the southeast of the country. Chiapas has seven different ecosystems, which gives to it a privileged geography that is both lovely and odd. In Chiapas, people could explore jungles, forests and mangroves, while they navigate the waters of its rivers, lakes and waterfalls.

Although Chiapas is part of the Mayan World, it is second in terms of ethnic diversity in Mexico. It is a state where people, language and traditions merge into one.
