OLVERITAS: OTOMI TEXTILES

I have been a huge fan of these Otomi textiles. A few years ago, I visited Puerto Vallarta and was on the hunt for them, only finding a few remnants my last day at the airport.

I’m a graphic designer + artist, by profession, so by nature, whatever appeals to me on the tactile, colorful, patterned, artistic side, I tend to go gaga over. Some great ways to bring in some flavor into your home: vibrant touches of color and pattern can really liven up a space, particularly a white room…and I’m officially obsessed with Otomi + classic, handmade-vibe Mexican design. I found these examples in Olvera's street Olveritas shop. I may officially be on the hunt for some Otomi of my own. They are hand embroidered works of art and fantastic pops of color.
