Other than a tricky word for non-Spanish speakers to pronounce (Clue: It rhymes with “people”), it’s also the name of a paneled tunic worn by indigenous Central American women, namely Mayans and Zapotecs, dating back to the pre-Hispanic era. There’s a reason these hand-woven, backstrap loomed cotton designs have stood the test of time: Whether worn as a blouse or dress, the garment flatters all body types and is chic enough for any occasion. We have worked with our artisan weavers to make two modern concessions: pockets for all huipiles and a matching belt for each to increase their versatility. Bonus: Due to the expertly tight weaving, it won’t wrinkle in your suitcase or take up too much room because it folds up into the most satisfyingly perfect rectangle.
