From being worn as a shawl to providing support for the pregnant belly during pregnancy, assisting with labor, wearing your baby, indulging in rebozo massage, and even participating in the revered Closing of The Bones ceremonial rituals—the rebozo embodies a world of traditions. Thanks to the iconic Frida Kahlo, renowned for her stunning rebozos, this timeless garment has been recognized as a symbol of Mexican cultural heritage and a profound expression of Mexican identity. Mexican midwives have long utilized the rebozo for rhythmic massages, offering comfort and relief throughout the journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
I am committed to sourcing the finest rebozos , meticulously handcrafted with love and skill. All my rebozos are 100% cotton and directly sourced from Oaxaca, Mexico. I have established a cherished relationship with a local family business Antama who collaborates with dedicated artisans that have poured their hearts into the craft for over 45 years. Oaxaca offers two distinct traditional rebozo styles. The chilly mountain region weaves rebozos from warm sheep wool, providing a cozy embrace. On the other hand, the valleys of Oaxaca produce rebozos woven with lighter cotton, offering a gentle and breathable texture. While some artisans continue to employ traditional black strap looms, others have adopted the petal loom, a weaving technique introduced by the Spaniards during their vibrant journey through Mexico.
