The Story
An ivory runner banded with Mitla-style grecas and diamond chains in mustard, sky blue, walnut, and charcoal. Alternating panels build a slow, rhythmic composition that reads as both classical and quiet.
Meet the Weaver
Wilmer Vásquez Luis
Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, México
Wilmer Vásquez Luis weaves in Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, on a walking-pedal loom, preparing and dyeing his own wool by hand.
Meet the Weaver →From the Earth
Every colour in this piece begins as a plant, a mineral or an insect, prepared in the workshop before the first thread reaches the loom.
- 100% Merino Wool
- Cochineal
- A scale insect raised on nopal cactus, ground and mixed with lime or lemon to move from deep crimson to soft rose.
- Indigo
- Fermented añil leaves, dipped and oxidised in air until the blue deepens with each bath.
- Marigold
- Pericón blossoms, boiled to yield warm golds and, over indigo, soft greens.
