I've been living and working in Mexico - since 2007 and during this time I've traveled to ferias/fairs, markets and festivals in the central and southern (Oaxaca and Chiapas) Mexico. Documenting traditional textiles, meeting with artisans and supporting coops.
As a result of these relationships I am able to offer the BEST traditional textiles, clothing, accessories and jewelry that Mexico has to offer.
My "Textile Fiestas of Mexico - a travelers guide " by Sheri Brautigam ia a book/guide for collecting and traveling to all the major textile centers to experience the festival of indigenous Mexico. Available NOW here in my shop and on Amazon. But I offer FREE shipping and a discount!!
Some of these 'trajes'/outfits from my personal collection are expensive (but RARE and worth it) so Lay-away is possible. 1/3 down and the balance in 30-60 days. Don't miss getting the Mexican clothing of your dreams.
The objective of my LivingTextile Etsy store is foremost - to support traditional artisan who are still making the 'living textiles' of Mexico. This is in hopes you start your own collection of beautiful hand made textiles. Your purchase supports also my documentary work..for my blog on Wordpress, and Face Book with noticias of Mexico's vibrant culture.

Thanks Kate for your appreciative comment on the Quality of this huipil. I personally think the Amuzgos weavers are some of the BEST weavers in Mexico!

5 out of 5 starsI always love my orders from Sheri. The pieces that I have ordered are beautifully made and unique. I wear each one with pride. This Shawl is stunning. I really like that I can dress this up or down for any occasion. I also love the lilac color and it's the perfect size. This will be my go to travel piece for sure. Excellent transaction, fast and secure shipping. Everything was packaged with lots of care. Thank-you again Sheri!
