Las Florecitas y Sus Secretos

A breathtaking sarape handwoven on a pedal loom in Tlaxcala, Mexico. A deep navy ground is scattered with delicate tulip-like floral motifs across horizontal stripe patterning. Two large diamond medallions dominate the composition — the upper in pink and white, filled with intricate floral detail; the lower in orange and lavender, with cross and diamond interior elements. White fringe completes the piece. Naturally dyed throughout. Design and dye work by Ignacio Netzahualcoyotl, 2021 winner of the Grand Prize for Mexican Traditional Patrimony. Woven by Leonor Netzahualcoyotl.

1st Place Winner, National Sarape Competition 2025.
