The weekend before last, a textile fair was held at Los Pinos, the former Presidential compound in Chapultepec Park which is now a cultural center. More than 100 stands were set up outside with vendors from all over Mexico selling clothing and other products. It was a colorful display of handiwork.
There was one small area showcasing the textiles of Guatemala. Unfortunately, there were no items for sale, but several ladies from that country were working on their backstrap looms.
After browsing through all of the stalls, I made a couple of purchases as Christmas presents.
