Product Description

The Lourdes black blouse with wool sleeves was made by the designer Lourdes in Queretaro, Mx. She worked together with the artisan Sebastiana Lopez from Chamula, Chiapas, Mx to create a unique handmade garment including a hand woven wool applique on the underarm. It also has a lining on the forearm so that the wool does not itch on the skin.

On the shoulders it has discreet ruffles giving it a very feminine touch. It is buttoned at the back. The cut is accentuated and with a wide collar, which invites to wear the blouse with a turtleneck underneath.

Each piece is unique and unrepeatable so it has its own peculiarities of its manual manufacture, these small imperfections should not be seen as flaws but as part of its unique character.

The elaboration time of the Lourdes black blouse with wool sleeves was 20 days.

Designer

Lourdes is a young and talented designer who really loves what she does. She started this adventure 10 years ago, inspired by her interest in Mexican traditions, that she has since she was a child. She relates that she grew up sheltering from the cold with her grandmother's shawls made on a backstrap loom and wrapping hot tortillas in hand embroidered napkins.

When choosing a profession she looked for the one that best expressed who she is and her roots, and Lourdes could not find another more suitable than Fashion Design, as it represents for her, the search for the essence of each person through clothing, which allows her to experiment and merge her story to become an object.

Lourdes never ceases to be surprised by the textile art that she finds. She is fascinated by the challenge that each piece represents to her when designing a garment that is worthy of wearing it.

From the first time I contacted Lourdes, she conveyed to me her passion for what she does and the respect she has for the artisans. I like her sober and elegant designs, since she really achieves a fusion of styles without sacrificing the essence of each one. It has been a total pleasure to find her and to be able to collaborate together, she is a source of inspiration.
