Amazing serapes with origin in the Aztecs and Spanish influenced! 😍 🇲🇽 🇪🇸 . When Cortez arrived on Mexico's shores in 1519, the Aztecs were already weaving and wearing a blanket-type garment. The Spanish influenced the weavings by introducing the pedal loom and domesticated sheep and wool. . Worn only by men, serapes were the counterpart of the rebozos and huipiles worn by women. Worn over the shoulder by aristocrats, used as a blankets or rain protection by cowboys, covering beds in homes, or spread out on the ground at markets to display wares, serapes were the typical garment of workers, horsemen, and townsfolk alike. The more refined, beautiful, and expensive serapes were worn by hacienda owners and gentlemen at parties or as they ambled along broad avenues. They were the Rolls Royce of their day. .
