Handwoven Ikat Jaspe Cotton Apron with a Pocket, "Jaspe Tradition"

Rut Gonzalez shares the allure of Guatemala's handwoven arts to a beautiful apron. Jaspe, a type of ikat weave, uses a variety of harmonious colors to create abstract motifs. To achieve them, the threads are tied-dyed before they are placed on the loom. A large patch pocket on the front holds your cell phone, recipe cards and more, and the apron ties at the neck and waist.
