Tepanyehual, Nauzontla, Puebla has only a few women that wear traditional attire, they were in the fields the day I visited so I owe those photos. However there are a number of women from a younger generation that like to wear blouses that are hand embroidered or knit. A sales man from San Miguel brought some blouses around to sell and the women on the community were buying them This family told me they had over 7 different blouses because they like to wear them. Unfortunately I didn’t sense and cultural link, they are just really nice.
