BORDADO ARTWORK

THE PROCESS

Each Tenango is meticulously hand-embroidered by talented artisans using cotton thread, crafting not only wearable art but also the one-of-a-kind pieces showcased here for hanging. The artistic process begins with artisans cutting the Mexican manta for the artwork. Subsequently, unique designs are carefully traced onto the fabric using a pencil, and each piece is embroidered using a "blind stitch" technique. Notably, the stitches are skillfully concealed on the front of the fabric and nearly imperceptible on the inside, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail.

THE PROCESS

ITS ORIGINS

The origin of this design has its roots in Tenango de Doria, Hidalgo, Mexico. They represent the state’s flora and fauna, harvest, the day-to-day of the people, celebrations, and more. Each Otomi art piece in your box will tell you a bit about life in Tenango de Doria, Hidalgo, Mexico!
