Mexican Handwoven Zapotec Shawl Cotton in Black and Aqua, "Agave Shadows"
Working on the handloom, Carmen Ruiz weaves an extraordinary Zapotec shawl. Intricate motifs in aqua on a black warp evoke the vast hillsides where agave grows. A voluptuous hand-tied macramé fringe completes this lovely cotton wrap, which takes its colors from natural dyes.

"My new fave!"





The pictures did not do this shawl justice - the Mexican Rose color is much more vibrant than it appears. Ive already worn this a couple of times and gotten compliments each time. Super comfy and the material is very soft.
