Pericón of the Setting Sun

This quechquémitl is a textile piece that honors the dialogue between the earth, flowers, and the hands that preserve tradition.

Its olive green hue comes from pericón, a sacred plant used since ancient times for its protective properties and its connection to abundance and the sun's energy. Each shade is the result of an artisanal dyeing process that transforms natural pigments into vibrant color on the fiber.

The threads that run through this piece were dyed with cochineal and cempasúchil flower, two treasures of nature that provide depth, warmth, and symbolism. Cochineal evokes vital force and creativity, while cempasúchil represents light, memory, and the bond with our roots.

More than a garment, this quechquémitl is a unique textile work where color is born from nature and each thread tells a story of time, patience, and tradition.

"Pericón del Sol Poniente" holds within its fibers the encounter between the golden light of the cempasúchil, the intensity of cochineal, and the green serenity of pericón, creating a piece that celebrates the beauty of authenticity and handmade craftsmanship. ✨🌿🌼
