The artisan who made this gorgeous runner, Carmen Ruiz, was born into Teotitlan del Valle's rich Zapotec textile traditions. She works using traditional techniques and natural materials and dyes that she sources locally and we're incredibly grateful to be able to feature this piece.
This delicately crafted cotton runner is hand-loomed from 100% cotton using a traditional treadle loom. Decorated with striped and geometric patterns, artisans use natural dyes to create a subdued palette that mixes dark brown, white, and burnt sienna tones. The textile is finished with a macramé fringe on both ends
