Beaded Tabard Poncho with Traditional Textile & Jade - Fuchsia Palopó

The Templario/Templar Poncho with Jade – A New Vision in Wearable Art

Introducing the Templario Poncho, a groundbreaking design by Don Jaime that merges heritage craftsmanship with modern elegance. This piece redefines wearable art, offering one of our most versatile and blouse-like styles yet.

A Signature Touch: The Heart of Jade

At its center, where the heart rests, a hand-carved jade piece inlaid in sterling silver symbolizes strength and balance, making this design both visually striking and deeply meaningful. Handcrafted from vintage Mayan huipil textiles, each piece carries the rich history of indigenous communities, featuring intricate patterns that reflect their vibrant culture. Every scrap of each huipil is honored—transformed into textile earrings, bracelets, and now, this stunning garment.

A Story Woven into Every Stitch

This Templario Poncho showcases hand-woven textile from the town of Santa Catarina Palopó. Read more about this textile here. A high-quality crochet edge protects the exclusive vintage fabric, ensuring both durability and elegance. Draped gracefully over the shoulders, with an open-sided design for effortless movement, it is adorned with our signature ceramic beads, cascading fluidly in the front and back.
