Saltillo sarapes (wearing blankets) are prized for their design, color, and technical refinement.
Description
The sarape (wearing blanket) is a classic Mexican men’s garment that became a symbol of national identity and pride after Mexico achieved independence from Spain in 1821. Examples woven between about 1750 and 1875 in Saltillo, a town in northern Mexico, are the sarape’s most famous representatives, prized for their design, color, and technical refinement.
