OTOMI ARTWORK

Discover the perfect infusion of color and authentic art for your home with our vibrant embroidered Tenango textiles! Renowned for their lively hues and distinctive floral and animal designs, these textiles showcase the exquisite Tenango embroidery style.

OTOMI ARTWORK

THE PROCESS

Each Tenango is embroidered by hand by talented artisans with cotton thread to create everything from wearable art to the one-of-a-kind art pieces you see here for framing. First, artisans cut the Mexican manta for the artwork. Then, the unique designs are hand traced onto the fabric using a pencil and each piece was embroidered using a "blind stitch" technique. You’ll notice that the stitches are completely hidden on the front of the fabric and almost completely hidden on the inside of the fabric as well!

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!

ITS ORIGINS

Otomi textiles represent a beautiful Mexican tradition that has been passed from generation to generation. The embroidery style known as "Tenangos", uses vibrant colors, and unique floral and animal designs which represent the life of the town. Each Otomi piece is hand embroidered on ivory muslin by Otomi artisans. Each piece can take hours, days, or even months to complete. Your purchase helps support family-run businesses and local communities.
