💸 El mejor Mercado de Textiles en Oaxaca, Jalieza #hechoamano #oaxaca

The textiles of San Pedro Jalieza, a small town in Oaxaca, are a jewel of Mexican cultural heritage. Known as "the town of belts," this place stands out for the mastery of its artisans, who have kept alive the tradition of the backstrap loom, an ancestral technique passed down from generation to generation. The women of Jalieza, in particular, handcraft a wide variety of products such as belts, bags, rugs, and shawls, with designs full of color and geometric shapes. Each piece reflects the identity of their community, incorporating elements of daily life and nature. Furthermore, the textiles are not only aesthetic products but also symbols of cultural resistance and pride in their Zapotec indigenous roots. #handmade
