THE REBOZO 

"Un calido abrazo mexicano...envuélveme, tápame, abrázame con tu rebozo"

Palacios Productions works directly with the rebozo artists in Santa Maria del Río, San Luis Potosí, México who strive to preserve this cultural, creative tradition.  

These rebozos are made on a backstrap loom and finished by "empuntadoras" or ladies who detail the extravagant fringes, one-by-one, strand-by-strand.  It takes approximately four months to complete these shawls, from ikat dying that produces designs to weaving the fringes and typically the entire family is involved in the process, as they have been for generations. 

Women love the culture and tradition of wearing these shawls that remind them of their mothers and grandmothers, yet can be worn in so many current styles.  They make terrific gifts.  A quality, comforting piece of work that lasts a lifetime!

Please see "current releases" for the latest in rebozo styles and how you can own a unique, handmade work of art.  There are 25 solid colors to choose from and several design patterns that can be special ordered by calling 925.930.0464.
