One of a kind textile wearable art work
handmade by Christina Hattler and her studio
Ceremony Coat 2
Date Created: May 2024
In 2009 we began working closely with various weavers who created by hand a traditional heirloom textile called a “rebozo” a type of shawl. We have a post in our archive here expressing the beauty and importance of this textile to Mexican women along with many images of work we made using this fabric.
In creating pieces with this sacred Mexican textile, we have always kept the scraps and smaller cuttings, because discarding of something which has taken so much effort to bring into existence never made sense to me. So over many years and many large bags full of scraps, moving the bags with me even when I moved to Oaxaca!
The studio has created some lovely quilts over the years and now this is a new piece. We are almost finished with the scraps and I believe to date this is the most exquisite result of them yet, a ceremonial robe/coat. I love taking something traditional an object, technique or concept and placing it into another context.
Each square is carefully joined together by machine stitch by stitch and lined with a handwoven extremely thin cotton which is also made by the rebozo weavers. The linear and ikat patterns dance beautifully around the coat while a few scattered blocks of white jump out! There is an interior and exterior tie to wrap one side over to create an elegant drape. Can be worn as a dress, a coat a robe- tied or also open.
Size: One size fits most
