Cotton apparel in Central America

"My people have traditionally worn cotton, as it is cool, comfortable, durable, and its price is accessible. My designs use many motifs representative of Maya art."

"Necessito mas color"

Ola Senora de Cuellar , Espero que estas bien . Gracias por la chemisa (?shirt) , es linda y me hace mirar muy guapo ! Mujeres me dice si el dibujo fue mas colorada (?) , yo puede estar mucho mas guapo tambien . Hi Judith . Its me again ; I was kind of kidding , at first . But seriously , like Ive said before , if the embroidered designs were more colorful , your shirts & clothing would be even more attractive . Digo lo a tus amigas y amigos , tambien . Perdona mi espanol , y gracias Con amor Geraldo

"Muy bonito , pero dar mi mas color !"

Ola Judith ! Its a very nice & well made casual/formal Latin American style of shirt . I have one suggestion , for both you and other of Novicas Latin American clothing artisans . If you add some colorful , vibrant , traditional style embroidery to your creations , they will become even more appealling and attractive . I had a beautiful Ecuadoran white cotton long sleeved shirt with colorful floral embroidery at the ends of the sleeves and by the V-neck of the shirt . It was fantastic . Salud y gracias Geraldo

"Great Quality"

Bought it as a Christmas present, pre-wrapped so I didnt see it until my fiance opened it. We were both impressed with the stitching and the quality of the cotton. The wrapping and the worry-doll, wow. how much thought and love goes into everything. Thank you.
