Vintage Huipil Top - Nebaj

This stunning pre-loved top has been made entirely by hand. It features a black base, featuring a stunning geometric embroidery in most of the front and back of the blouse with an amazing collar, traditionally known from the Mayan village of Nebaj, Quiche, Guatemala.

One of our top sellers, Nebaj blouses are known for their hand-embroidered tribal figures that look like hieroglyphics that are hand-embroidered along with Mayan symbols in horizontal rows to create gorgeous, one-of-a-kind textiles. 

Wear it with denim or linen pants for a casual picnic day in the sun, or spice it up with a skirt and boots for a fun night out on the town! Either way you wear it, this top is a great piece to add to your ethical wardrobe!
