Mexico Bordado II

Before becoming a dress, a huipil, or a celebration, all embroidery always begins with the simple gesture of a needle piercing the fabric.

Following the success of the first book, México Bordado, in this new book embroiderer Gimena Romero shares the stories and experiences that trace the essence of the textile traditions of the territories, communities, and cultures of southern Mexico—especially Chiapas, but also Oaxaca and Mexico City—and teaches us step by step the language with which these traditions were written: the stitches.

Traditional embroideries have their own names, passed down from generation to generation through people, pieces, and memories: Nahua, Zapotec, and Chamula embroidery; Mixtec from the Costa Chica and the ancient style of Huixtán; Totonac and Zinacantán embroidery; mestizo embroidery on tulle... This book deeply illustrated book shows the beautiful craft and diversity of Mexican embroidery.
