About the origin of Tepehua embroidery: it is more commonly known as Tenango or Otomi embroidery, is a vibrant, hand-stitched folk art from the Otomí-Tepehua communities in the Sierra of Hidalgo, Mexico. This iconic embroidery style, using white cotton fabric and bright threads, features stylized native flora, fauna, abstract shapes, and mythological creatures inspired by local cave paintings, reflecting the culture and dreams of the artisans. The tradition gained wider attention in the 1960s after a severe drought led the community to sell their intricate work for income. By the way, we choose this lovely patterns to decorate the front of our store!
