Every bold stripe is deliberate. At each end, she knots hundreds of silk threads by hand into the elaborate fringe the Purepecha call \u003cem\u003erapacejo\u003c\/em\u003e — \"flowers.\" Then, as her signature, she works real feathers into the weave.

The Purepecha (P'urhépecha) of Michoacán keep that tradition alive on the \u003cem\u003etelar de cintura\u003c\/em\u003e — the backstrap loom tied around the weaver's waist, where the tension of her own body shapes every thread. This particular style, known as rebozo Alhuiran, has been produced for generations.
