Honoring the Indigenous: This design marries the colorful geometric textile art of Native American Mexicans with modern, minimalist style. The slipped stitches and light colorwork create the illusion of embroidered thread, also prevalent in traditional Mexican fiber arts. This breathable, structured wrap is the perfect pop of color for all spring occasions.
