Details

This luxurious hand-loomed poncho is knitted from a blend of Guatemalan cotton woven with structured reclaimed denim fibers. The materials are 100% natural and completely free of any dyes.Luisa Villavicencio's workshop creates apparel and accessories that celebrate the rich textile tradition of her family. The cotton woven into their designs is grown in a plantation started by Luisa's father and her knowledge of traditional textiles comes through her mother who was trained in Maya weaving. In an effort to contribute to a greener environment, the workshop has a long-standing partnership with a firm that recycles denim scraps discarded by Guatemala's clothing industry and uses them to create pieces such as this one.

"The Natural Combination in Blue is me favorite scarf of all time!"

The colors, drape, and texture of this scarf are beautiful. I wear it all fall, winter, & spring. It is soft and light weight; it keeps you warm; but it also breathes so you stay comfortable. Its the scarf I always reach for because its feels so good. If Luisa ever makes it in any other colors, I will buy them all! For me, its the perfect scarf. Thank you, Luisa, for your incredible artistry!
