Rebozo 77. This cotton rebozo has an indigo blue dye that
is almost black. It looks slightly more blue in real life than in
the photo on the left. The stripes going across are a cool
orange. The rebozo is 60 inches long and has 9 inch fringes on
each end. (total 78 inches long). It is 28 inches long.

the colours are thin brown lines between the blue and bluish white - it goes very

Rebozo 79. Rebozo 79 has been dyed with indigo. I
always like the rich smell of it. This cotton rebozo is 60 inches
long plus a 9 inch fringe at each end. (total 78 inches long).
It is 28 inches wide and slightly darker than in the photo above.
$95.US.
Rebozo 80. This is a creamy coloured cotton rebozo with
dark indigo and brown narrow stripes going through it. The rebozo
is 72 inches long with an 11 inch long fringe at each end. (total
94 inches). The rebozo is 28 inches wide and known as a three
quarters. $85.US.
Rebozo 84. This rebozo is made of the traditional indigo
dyed cotton but looks almost black. It is a grande, or full size, made for carrying the
baby or packages on the back. You will see women in the markets
with huge bundles wrapped up in their rebozos. This one is 74
inches long with a 12 inch fringe at each end. (total 98 inches).
It is 32 inches wide, and a slightly thicker cotton than the
smaller rebozos. $85.US.
Rebozo 86. Here is another rebozo made of white and
indigo dyed cotton. It is 71 inches long with a 9 inch fringe at
each end. The rebozo is 28 inches wide and qualifies as a three
quarter. This particular rebozo has rather wonderful writing tied
into the fringes. At one end it says "Carinito Mio" and at the other it says "No Me Olvide".
My dear love, do not forget me. The tying of the fringes is
very complex and precise. That makes rebozos with complicated
fringes more expensive as they take a number of hours to tie.
$180.US.
Rebozo 87. This rebozo has a rather fantastically tied
fringe. Tiny precise knots making an interesting pattern.
The ends of the fringe have not been cut yet, so the new owner
can take a pair of scissors and finish the last job - trimming the
fringe so that it is the perfect length. This rebozo is 74 inches
long with a 12 inch fringe at each end (plus a couple of extra inches
at each end which can be trimmed). It is 29 inches wide.
$225.US. (sold)
Rebozo 88. This looks like a typical ikat dyed cotton rebozo until you get to the fringe which is beaded into floral designs with small transparent coloured seed beads.
I was thinking about how that is done and it must be very time
consuming as they have to be constantly slid up the threads to the
right places. This cotton rebozo is 64 inches long with a 9 inch
fringe at each end. It is 28 inches wide. $150.US.
Rebozo 89. I thought that this was such an amusing cotton
rebozo with a layer of girls decorating each fringe. They are
cheerful and delightful. I searched the Tenancingo market for the
most interesting rebozos that I could find and this was definitely one
of them. The rebozo is 73 inches long with a 10 inch fringe at
each end. It is 28 inches wide. $225.US.
Rebozo 90. Here is another cotton rebozo with a fringe
tied in a very fine and complex way. It has a different phrase at
each end. At one it says "Para Ti Amor" and at the other it says "Especialemente". It has designs of horses as well.
"Especially for you my love". This was the most
beautifully tied rebozo that I found on market day in Tenancingo when
women come in from different areas to sell the rebozos that they had
been working on since the last market. This is 73 inches long
with a 9 inch fringe at each end. It is 30 inches wide. The
colours are coffee and indigo. $250.US.
Rebozo 91. This is one of the few rebozos that I have for
sale where I think that the cotton was bought already died.
Almost all of the others are dyed in the rebozo studios. It
is a great colour though and very difficult to find otherwise.
The rebozo is 68 inches long with a traditional style knotting
(for this area - Malinalco/Tenancingo) at each end. The fringes
are each 11 1/2 inches long. The rebozo is 29 inches wide.
$110.US.
Rebozo 92. I rarely see rebozos which are dyed with
cochineal but found two at the studio run by the rebocero Hermilo Lopez
Izquierdo in Tenancingo. The colour is a little richer than in
the photo. The cotton has a very evocative smell to it.
This rebozo is 70 inches long with a 14 inch fringe at each end.
It hasn't been trimmed yet, so could use 2 inches cut off to make
it tidier. They were going to do that in the studio but I thought
the new owner might enjoy the ritual. The rebozo is 29 inches
wide. $180.US.
Rebozo 95. This is a very high style oriented rebozo from
the studio of the rebocero Hermilo Lopez Izquierdo in Tenancingo,
Mexico. Rebozos have become popular for a city woman's evening
life as well, to use for a shawl when wearing a designer dress or
heading to a restaurant or club. What could be more comfortable,
and dramatic too if one wishes. It is mostly cotton but
also has purple strands of artisela which is similar to rayon, made
from wood based fibres. It brings a little shine to the fabric
and to the fringe. The rebozo is 72 inches long with a fringe of
8 1/2 inches at each end. It is 29 inches wide. $400.US.
Rebozo 96. This rebozo is an amazing colour. It too
is from the studio of the rebocero Hermilo Lopez Izquierdo in
Tenancingo, Mexico. I couldn't put it down. The colours are
so vibrant and so unpredictable. The rebozo is woven finely with a blend of cotton and artisela (similar to the wood based
fibre - rayon). The weaving is fine, the colours shift
beautifully and this is a piece to remember. The rebozo is 72
inches long with an 8 1/2 inch long fringe at each end. They are
knotted in a typical old manner specific to the area of
Malinalco/Tenancingo. $400.US.
Rebozo 99. This mediano cotton rebozo from Tenancingo,
Mexico is 26 inches by 78 inches including a fringe of 8 inches at each
end. The purple is a little darker and deeper than the preview
photo to the left. The black fringe has a diamond shaped pattern
knotted into it. $85.US.
Rebozo 100. This is a very finely woven cotton rebozo
from Tenancingo, Mexico which looks more black/white than blue.
This is a 3/4 - 28 inches wide and 88 inches long with 12 inches
at each end of a very finely knotted black fringe. The pattern in
the fringe has swans in it. $110.US.
Rebozo 101. This cotton rebozo from Tenancingo, Mexico is
very finely woven. The colours look confusing in the photo - the
combination is too complex for the camera to be able to show properly.
The colour in real life looks almost blue/black. It is
really a very dark sea blue next to tiny stripes of indigo. This
is 28 inches wide and 80 inches long with a fringe of 9 inches at each
end. I love how the beginning of the fringe changes from bluish
to black. $110.US.
Rebozo 102. The colour in the photo to the left is VERY
deceptive. It is actually a deep midnight blue very similar to
#103 below - no brightness at all. This 3/4 cotton rebozo
(Tenancingo) is finely woven with an intricate pattern. The
rebozo is 28 inches wide by 88 inches long including 10 inches of
fringe at each end. The knotting created 6 pointed stars.
$110.US
Rebozo 103. If your computer is set the same as mine is,
this is an accurate photo of the colour of this finely woven cotton
rebozo (Tenancingo). I use a similar one to help keep me warm in
the winter, and wrapped on cool nights in the summer. The rebozo
is 28 inches wide and 86 inches long with 9 1/2 inch long fringes
included. The bottoms of the fringes have white bits that are
undyed. I rather like that oddness, but if you don't, you can
trim the bottom just like trimming bangs. $110.US.
Rebozo 104. I love the colours in this cotton rebozo from
Tenancingo, just a little more intense in real life. Shades of
mustard and dark blue with a creamy background. This fringe is
woven into words, a rather wonderful thought that makes a beautiful
gift. At one end the rebozo says: TE RECUERDO and on
the other: CARINO. Saying that "I remember my loved one."
The rebozo is 28 inches by 88 inches including 10 inches of
fringe at each end. $180.US.
Rebozo 105. This is an accurate photo of the colours of
this cotton rebozo (Tenancingo) though it looks just a little richer as
it has a brunette/brown look to it. Rather unusual for typical
rebozos. This rebozo is 30 inches wide and 90 inches long.
It is very fine. The fringes take up 10 1/2 inches at each
end. $140.US.
Rebozo 106. Beautiful colours similar to #104 above.
They are MUCH nicer in real life than in the preview on the left.
The midnight blue stripes give a little more drama against the
mustard. This rebozo is 28 inches wide and 88 inches long
including 10 1/2 inches of zig-zag knotted fringes. I was offered
rebozos that hadn't been tied yet, but it would be impossible for me to
pick out the tiny strands, knot them evenly, and be consistent over the
whole area. Nope. I highly admire the people who do the
knotting so well. $140.US.
Rebozo 107. The fringe on this rebozo is truly
outstanding. Designs change over the course of years and this one
has a lightness and brightness to it. The creaminess of the
background is quite sublime and coloured with coffee and midnight blue.
The cotton rebozo (Tenancingo) is 28 inches wide and 94 inches
long including fringes of 11 inches at each end. $200.US.
Rebozo 108. This cotton rebozo has a richer look than it
seems in the photo. The fine stripes are black/midnight blue next
to a skinny stripe of bright blue, almost too fine to see. From
some angles it looks dark green. That combination creates the
richness and depth of the colour. This ikat dyed rebozo (as most
of them are) is 28 inches wide and 89 Inches long including fringes of
10 inches at each end. The design knotted into the fringe is one
of flowers and leaves. $125.US.
Rebozo 109. This rebozo reminds me of a latte or a cafe
con leche - the perfect colours. The colours change just as if
you gave it a little stir. This cotton rebozo from Tenancingo is
28 inches wide and 90 inches long with 11 inches of that being finely
tied knotting on the fringe. $160.US.
Rebozo 110. Here is a very energetic cotton rebozo with a
very modern twist to it. The colours work together beautifully
and the knotting is a joy - quite unusual. The rebozo from
Tenancingo is 28 inches wide and 88 inches long including fringes of 9
inches at each end. $185.US.
Rebozo 111. This finely woven cotton rebozo from
Tenancingo has a very modern look to it with none of the traditional
ikat style patterns - just narrow beautifully coloured strips and a
very elaborately knotted fringe. The rebozo is 28 inches wide and
88 inches long. The fringe takes up 11 inches at each end.
This could be worn in an elegant way as well. $220.US.
Rebozo 112. This cotton rebozo from Tenancingo and the
one below came from the same maker. The ikat dying is used just
in the brown cotton giving it an unusual look - the texture is smooth,
flat and fine although it looks in the photo like it might be textured
- it isn't. The rebozo has brick coloured, green and white
threads. The rebozo is 28 inches by 92 inches including 11 1/2
inches of fringe at each end. $200.US.
Rebozo 113. This cotton rebozo from Tenancingo and the one above came from the same maker. The ikat dying
is used just in the blue cotton giving it an unusual look - the
texture is smooth, flat and fine although it looks in the photo like it
might be textured - it isn't. The rebozo has blue, green, yellow and white threads. The rebozo is 28 inches by 92 inches including 11 1/2 inches of fringe at each end. $200.US.
Rebozo 114. The real colour of this cotton rebozo from
Tenancingo is more turquoise (an ocean kind of turquoise) than it
appears in the photo on the left. It has a terrific fringe that
continues in stripes. The rebozo is 28 inches by 92 inches
including 12 inches of fringes at each end. $180.US.
Rebozo 115. Here is a very finely woven complex cotton
rebozo from Tenancingo. The pattern is elaborate and contains
pale turquoise, yellow, pink and very dark blue/black ikat work.
The rebozo is 28 inches wide and 88 inches long including
10 inches of fringe at each end. Just imagine how complex this
knotting is... $220.US. (sold)
Rebozo 116. This rebozo has the very complex "V" shaped
fringe that comes from the Malinalco/Tenancingo area. I love the
continuation of colours but contrast in design between the finely woven
rebozo and the tightly knotted fringe. This rebozo has a strong
combination of colours. It is 28 inches wide and 82 inches long.
The fringe takes up 7 inches of the rebozo at its longest part.
$250.US.
Rebozo 117. Here is a very graceful delicate looking fine
cotton rebozo from Tenancingo. It was the only pale striped one
like this that I saw in the entire marketplace. The cream colour
is perfect and contrasts nicely with the pale grey stripes. The
rebozo is 28 inches wide and 88 inches long including a fringe of 10
inches at each end. $180.US.
Rebozo 118. I rarely see plain coloured rebozos unless
they are made of artisela and not the same quality as these cotton
ones. This is a perfect peach colour with a very unusual fringe -
openwork that works like lace does when worn. The rebozo is 28
inches wide and 98 inches long including a fringe of 12 inches at each
end. $180.US.
Rebozo 37b. *Torzal Grande" $75.US.
Rebozo 40a. "Mediano Azteca" $95.US.
Rebozo 41. "Mediano Azteca" $95.US.
Rebozo 43a. "Mediano Azteca" $95.US.
Rebozo 45. "Tipo Guaro" very fine cotton
$145.US.
Rebozo 47. You cannot imagine this rebozo - it is the last
of this style that I have - all others are sold. It is a
magnetic, sensational, colourful and eye-catching piece that is a thing
of dreams. I was very excited to find this - a silk
Purepecha shawl with deep extravagant fringes woven into it, from
Terecuato near Zamora, Michoacán. The artesania museum in
Patzcuaro
had a few examples, though they were older of course and not so vibrant
in colour. This rebozo is 92 inches long and 30 inches
wide.
The fringes take up 19 inches and are VERY heavy. They swing very
nicely. Do check
this photo. The fringes are patterned and the colours on top
of each other look rather like butterflies. They are meant to mimic
the plumage of birds and they do that very effectively.
$500.US.
Rebozo 48. Here is an unusual intricately knotted rebozo from
the State of Michoacan. I believe that it is from the area of Zamora
de Hidalgo. This is made from a fine cotton (punta fina) on a hand
loom. These hand loomed rebozos have a more natural look to the weaving
than the looms making mass produced textiles. On hand loomed rebozos
there are almost always those raised threads which you can see on the image
just above the beginnings of the fringes. These are all "one of a
kind" pieces... $280.US. (sold)
Rebozo 51. Here is an unusual intricately knotted rebozo from
the State of Michoacan. I believe that it is from the area of Zamora
de Hidalgo. This is made from what is noted as "mercerized cotton"
which is medium weight and fairly heavy. This has been woven on a
hand loom. These hand loomed rebozos have a more natural look to
the weaving than the looms making mass produced textiles. On hand
loomed rebozos there are almost always those raised threads which you can
see on the image just above the beginnings of the fringes. These
are all "one of a kind" pieces... $375.US.
Rebozo 52. This cotton rebozo from Tenancingo is 27 inches
wide and 85 inches long including fringes. It is more of a pink
colour than the lilac that it appears to be in the photo.
$135.US.
Rebozo 54. This cotton rebozo (a little more pink and less
lilac than in the photo) is 25 inches wide and 80 inches long.
This was made in Tenancingo. $85.US.
Rebozo 56. This rebozo is from Tenancingo. It is a
distinct
one having the three colours of the Mexican flag. The combination
of colours is terrific and the sentiment a proud one. The rebozo
is 26 inches wide and 82 inches long including fringes. $125.US.
Rebozo 59. Here is a colourful cotton rebozo from
Tenancingo. It is very individualistic. The rebozo is 26
inches wide and 80 inches long including fringes. $145.US.
Rebozo 62a. This cotton rebozo is not as bright as it appears on
the photo. It is more of a dark jeans blue. The rebozo is
from Michoacan and is called a "mediana Azteca". It is 82 inches long (including fringes) and 28 inches wide. $95.US.
Rebozo 63a. This cotton rebozo from Michoacan is called a tres
cuartos (3/4) extrano. The colours are deceiving on the image as
the stripes are rich brown, indigo blue, white and black. The
rebozo is 98 inches long (including fringes) and 29 inches wide.
$110.US.
Rebozo 63b. This
cotton rebozo from Michoacan is
called a tres cuartos (3/4) cafe extrano. It is truly the colour
of a rich cup of coffee with black and white accents. The
rebozo is 98 inches long (including fringes) and 29 inches wide.
$110.US.
Rebozo 64a. This
cotton rebozo from Michoacan is
called a tres cuartos (3/4) extrano. This rebozo is not bright
as it appears in the photo - the colour is of dark indigo , black and
pale blue. The
rebozo is 98 inches long (including fringes) and 29 inches wide. $110.US.
Rebozo 65a. This is a lovely cotton rebozo from Patzcuaro,
Michoacan. The rebozo is 28 inches wide and 80 inches long.
The body of the rebozo is creamy white with patterns of rust and
navy blue. This is a very fine cotton. $120.US.
Rebozo 66a. I love the dark caramel colours of this cotton
rebozo from Patzcuaro, Michoacan. The batik style changes in the
pattern are really interesting. The rebozo is 28 inches wide and
a remarkable 90 inches long including fringes. $120.US.
Rebozo 67a. This is a great Indigo blue rebozo working
excellently with jeans. The cotton rebozo from Patzcuaro,
Michoacan is 29 inches wide and 88 inches long including fringes.
$120.US.
Rebozo 67b.
This is a beautiful dark indigo/almost black background with pale blue and rusty coloured stripes. The cotton rebozo from Patzcuaro, Michoacan is 29 inches wide and 88 inches long including fringes. $120.US
Rebozo 68. Every time that I travel to the rebozo markets
in various parts of Mexico, I find something that I have never had
before. This rebozo from Tenancingo is the most colourful, with a
very finely and perfectly tied fringe. Ikat stripes and zig zag
fringe. The rebozo is 100 inches long which includes a 12 inch
fringe at each end. It is 29 inches wide. $275.US. (sold)
Rebozo 71. There are three similar rebozos here, all from the
state of Michoacan. They are fine and beautifully made in good
clear colours. This one has a strong pink stripe with a fine
white line down the center. The rebozo is 98 inches long and 29
inches wide. These rebozos are more fashionable than traditional.
The popularity of artists like Frida Kahlo has brought Mexican
silver and clothing into the fashion scene. $110.US.
Rebozo 72. This
rebozo from Michoacan is similar to the one above. This has a
clear strong pink/magenta stripe running through the black.
$110.US.
