This white pillow, is from Teotitlan Del Valle community of Oaxaca Mexico. The elaboration of a wool cushion like this is a slow process that can take up to 2 days to finish!

This is a western accent pillow in color Gray with arrows design, allusive to southwestern, bohemian, Navajo or Americana Styles. This pillow is delicately made on waist loom machine. Artisans thread wool fibers one by one, to give that exclusive handmade, one of a kind look. This pillow is 100% wool on one side and Mexican cotton cloth with zipper closure on the other.

The waist loom is a very old technique used by Mesoamerican cultures. At present, artisans continue to use this technique to make some of the pieces they use for their clothing as well as items and accessories for the home. Unfortunately, these ancestral techniques have been replicated with machines, removing the human element, in such a way that their production is greater in a shorter time. Naturally, this has repercussions for the original producers, creators of these crafts, because it is impossible to compete with the prices generated by cheap production.
