Textile Cape with Beaded Body Chains - "Huipil Capa", Floral

Introducing our Huipil Capa shoulder pieces – wearable art that tells a story. Crafted from upcycled Mayan huipil textiles, each piece is a masterpiece in itself. These vibrant textiles carry the history of diverse Mayan communities, with patterns as unique as their origins. We honor their heritage by transforming every scrap piece into textile earrings or bracelets.

This Huipil Cape features hand-embroidered textiles from Patzún near Chimaltenango, known for its intricate floral designs. Adorned with our signature ceramic beads, they elegantly cascade across the chest, ensuring all eyes are on you. Experience the fusion of tradition and contemporary style – a true head-turner.

Each piece comes with a handmade "tipico" bag.

How to wear it: Wear it over a simple dress or top as a statement piece for those special events like gallery openings, festivals, or even as your accessory for a wedding. Pro tip: Hang it on your wall on a stick when you're not using it! See video to learn how to put it on and play with the different looks.

Size description: This piece is a medium/large in terms of beaded chain length. Nevertheless, it will adapt to your body and shape. You can adjust the look by positioning it on the shoulders (see model photos for size reference).

Everything is handmade by Mayan artisans in Guatemala. See photos of the lead artisan from the community who made this piece.
