The Etta Tunic

$230.00

The Etta Tunic: 100% natural cotton, handwoven on a traditional standing loom in the Oaxaca Valley by the lovely Mendez family. A subtle diamond motif, inspired by reliefs found at the Mitla archeological site, is woven in horizontal bands throughout this simple silhouette. Designed for ease of movement and beauty in comfort. Jayme is wearing the Jack & Jane Tunic in terracotta, designed to be worn by both men + women. In fact, all AE designs are gender neutral. 

The Etta Tunic is completely handmade from start to finish, down to washing and dyeing the cotton thread used to weave the dark blue diamond motif woven into this timeless design. This laborious, multi-step process requires amazing attention to detail, and significant time.

The Mendez family is a multigenerational master weaving family in the Oaxaca Valley. Their impressive history dates back to 1920, with multiple acknowledgments of exemplary status in Mexico and internationally. Read about their family business on the AE journal here
