Zinacantán
is one of the Tsotsil villages best known for its distinctive dress. Today it is famous for its floral embroideries in vivid colors, found on blouses, shawls, and other garments.
In the past, however, the textile tradition included complex backstrap loom
brocades, many of which are now made less frequently.
Local fashion has changed rapidly in recent decades, incorporating new materials, colors, and embroidery techniques, while maintaining an aesthetic deeply tied to the community's identity.
Curiosity:
The floral embroideries of Zinacantán are inspired by the great variety of flowers cultivated in the region.

Joining of pieces with randas and finishing
The textile pieces are assembled with ornamental randas; finishing is also applied to edges and borders that complete and protect the garment, turning them into decorative elements in their own right.
