Vibrant Zapotec Weavings for Spring Decorating!
April 6, 2014
The vibrant colors of Mexico are now available in many of our newest Zapotec Rugs and Weavings. We've recently added a rainbow of colorful hand-loomed weavings featuring orange, yellow, and red. The colors, although varied and bright, fit in well with the Southwest style, which is earth-based and tends toward the colors of natural. Since many of our designs are available in 12 or more sizes, they offer exceptional flexibility in their use. You can use these sunset colored accents throughout your hacienda as coasters, runners, rugs, and pillow covers!
Every authentic Zapotec weaving offered by La Fuente Imports has been dyed and loomed by hand in the ancient village of Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca. Each family in the southern Mexican village produces just one or two unique designs of high quality and durability, with most members of the family participating in some way. Sorting, spinning, dyeing, and weaving are all done in the home using predominantly traditional, organic dye materials, and all natural shades of wool.
The weavings available in our online store were chosen for the strength of the weave, quality of the dyes, complexity of the design, and the expression of warmth and cultural spirit.
