Bark Paper (Papel Amate)
Nowadays Bark Paper is still made using Pre-Hispanic techniques.
The bark is shaved of the tree, soaked and cooked. The fibers are then pounded by hand using a volcanic rock until they spread to the desired shape, consistency and thickness. The artisans can also insert beautiful woven patterns by rolling and twisting the fibers. Finally the masterpieces is dried in the sun. The paper color depends on the bark used to make it (mulberry, lime or fig tree) and, it’s important to mention that the bark always grows back.
Beautiful girl dresses fine gauge knit of cotton pima (90%) with a hint of cashmere (10%) for softness.
