Austin based company, Xolo Sarapes, sources their beautiful dog collars from Santo Tomas Jaileza. They preserve the tradition of the use of the waist loom, a prehispanic system for weaving, which consists of a leather strap and rope that is placed on the lower back and waist of the craftsman.
To their cotton fabrics they add natural dyes such as indigo, huizache, pomegranate, aloe and melissa plant to give life to the pieces that are meticulously woven and that gradually shape colourful symbols, friezes, dancers, deer, cacaloxúchitl flowers, pineapple flower, owls, dogs and an infinite number of other forms, many of which have meanings that date back to pre-Hispanic times.
