This is a beautiful handwoven tunic or beach cover-up made of soft cotton. The Lopez family of Mitla, Oaxaca uses an old fashioned pedal loom to create these textiles, which are as comfortable as they are beautiful. While it retains some of the characteristics of the traditional "huipil" of the region, its vibrant colors and stripes fit well with a contemporary ethnic inspired look. While perfect for summer it can also be worn over turtle neck or with leggings in cooler weather.
