Ihuatzio, Michoacan is a medium sized village, where there is still a strong textile tradition. The delantal, embroidered blouse and slip are in use by at least two generation. The town´s name means coyotes den.

There is a small statue of a coyote in a park near Florence’s house. She was adamant that I take a picture of her in front of the statue (the town is named for a coyote’s den). A few people from the village mentioned that the red skirt was more typical of Ihuatzio. The rebozo adds an elegant touch to the costume.
