Throw pillows are an easy way to incorporate functional art to your spaces so order a few for a real "display" that everyone will talk about when visiting!

Made from the embroidered cloth of traditional garments known as the Huipil (pronounced "Wee-Pil") tunic, our throw pillows bring lively design and cultural history wherever they go. Numerous fabric types, embroideries and stitching styles are used to create the Huipil, as each expresses the unique identity and personality of the indigenous woman who wears it.

The Huipil is the Nahuatl name for the traditional handmade garment worn by indigenous women throughout Southern Mexico and Central America. Used as daily garments to special ceremonies, dressing the statues of saints and adorning women of high status, the Huipil is an important piece of clothing. That makes these unique throw pillows not just well-made and comfortable, but rich in tradition, too.
