Tzoloj Ya' HuipilEmbroidered flowers on the Tzoloj Ya huipil represent flora of the Guatemalan department of Solol (Tzoloj Ya is the regions pre Columbian name), including the flowering tree, Chinese hibiscus; the evergreen shrub, Madagascar periwinkle; and the purple blossomed sprawling shrub known as Golden dewdrops.

Embroidered flowers on the Tzoloj Ya’ huipil represent flora of the Guatemalan department of Sololá (Tzoloj Ya’ is the region’s pre-Columbian name), including the flowering tree, Chinese hibiscus; the evergreen shrub, Madagascar periwinkle; and the purple-blossomed sprawling shrub known as Golden dewdrops. Embroidered birds near the center represent the many species of birds common to the area. However, the part of the huipil that is most traditional to Sololá is the striped bodice. To create this look, yarn is tie-dyed before being woven (an elaborate technique known as Jaspe or Ikat)—a process that is known in indigenous textile communities around the world. Guatemala’s Jaspe technique is one of the more difficult to weave, and is a defining element of both men and women’s clothing in Sololá.

A large percentage of current residents of Sololá continue to wear traditional Mayan clothing—more so than in other nearby regions—which would include this design for women’s huipiles. Almost all residents of Sololá are Kaqchikel Maya, with some K'iche' Maya. The area is known for its brightly colored buildings and a vibrant artisan marketplace surrounding Lake Atitlán, similar to the brightly colored huipil itself.  Today, Sololá is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Guatemala and also one of the safest for visitors.

Small toe box BUT SOO cute
Size: 8.5, Color: Natural Snake
Very cute but if you have wide toes and typically require a wider toe box you’ll end up with blisters if you walk a lot in them.

Comfy and perfect heels for the summer!
Love these heels! I’m 5’5”, 120 lbs and size 8.5. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on and I have somewhat wide feet. They are the perfect summer heels!

Cute but Extremely Uncomfortable
Size: 6, Color: Blue Leather
The shoes are very pretty, but they are absolutely uncomfortable. I could barely wear them for an hour without my feet hurting. Unfortunately, they look much better than they feel. I really wanted to love them, but they are not comfortable enough to wear for any extended period of time.
