Handcrafted by skilled weavers, often using traditional backstrap or pedal looms, every rebozo is created one thread at a time. The process can take days or even weeks, as artisans carefully select natural fibers like cotton, silk, or wool, and hand-dye them with organic pigments. The distinctive fringes, known as rapacejos, are meticulously knotted by hand, a finishing touch that speaks to patience, precision, and pride in one’s work.
