Hand Embroidered Fine Paste Lady's Hat, appropriate for China Poblana attire.

In the Museo de la Charrería's Collection rests a treasure of Mexican craftsmanship: a charro hat made of fine paste, masterfully embroidered on its surface. This hat, a true jewel of the charro tradition, presents a dazzling display of details, from the guides, leaves and roses that frame its crown to the imposing eagle that adorns each side.

Processing Details

The fine paste, made with delicately woven hair, serves as the perfect canvas for the meticulous embroidery that adorns this hat. Using silk thread of the highest quality, the artisans have created a universe of guides, leaves and roses that envelop the cup in a symphony of colors and shapes.

The Emblematic Eagle

On the crown, two majestic eagles, symbols of strength and freedom, preside over the hat. Embroidered with the same skill and precision, these birds frame the scene as guardians of the charro tradition.

Toquilla and Cord: A Touch of Distinction

The toquilla, with its red and black cord, adds a touch of elegance and contrast, perfectly complementing the embroidery of the hat. The matching shades of the eyelets add an extra touch of sophistication.

Ribete de Seda: Elegance in the Details

The trim, made of fine silk, frames the brim of the hat with a subtlety that highlights the craftsmanship behind each stitch. The smaller guides, leaves and roses, embroidered with silk thread on this trim, create a visual harmony that unifies the entire piece.

El Espejo Charro: Living Tradition

The embroidery method known as "mirror", where the exquisiteness of the design is visible on both the top and the bottom. This hat embodies the artisanal mastery that has been passed down through time, becoming a living tribute to the rich charro tradition.

Cordon Man: A Touch of the Times

Finally, the silk corded male, in the style of yesteryear, completes the piece, evoking an era when elegance and detail were the norm.

This charro hat is more than a garment, it is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and a window to the past, a celebration of the rich history of charrería and the dedication of the artisans who have kept this tradition alive.
