Our Fall and Winter Line

We hope you can all make it to the Waldorf School's Fall fair in Garden City tomorrow, Saturday the 24th. Here's a sneak preview of what we will be selling tomorrow, and what we will have to offer to prepare you for the upcoming winter:

ModaTierra's line brings a Mexican hint to contemporary fashion. These embroidered cotton ponchos work well with jeans and boots, and are great for either the office or the bar. The design is pure Chiapas, but is similar to some Guatemalan embroidery due to their geographical proximity. When we found them in San Juan Chamula, we were thrilled at how modern the floral designs were.




To the right is one of the most versatile scarves we offer. We call it the "Carolina scarf" because our good friend in Mexico City has about 50 of them and wears a different color each day, sometimes in her hair, sometime around the neck as we're showing here and sometimes as a belt. They are hand woven in Oaxaca, and the softest ones we could find were in Mitla, just down the road from one of Mexico's most beautiful pre-Colombian ruins.


We sell the Carolina scarf in a larger size and in various colors. Please let us know if you are looking for a particular color.

Also perfect for the fall are these two types of decorative scarves.









The warmest scarves we have actually go by a different name in Spanish: the word rebozo is used for a scarf of this thickness, which I basically live in during the winter. The weave is much thicker, and the wool blend provides tons of warmth without being itchy.



As always, let us know if you are looking for something specific, or if you have any questions about the artisans or materials.
