    The Lienzo Sapitos Primitivo is part of Colorindio’s Primitivo Collection, a series of designs rooted in some of the earliest symbolic weaving motifs of Chiapas. Woven on a backstrap loom from natural cotton, the design features the sapitos pattern — dotted forms symbolizing fertility, rain, and renewal within Indigenous cosmovisión.

    Balanced in scale and versatile in use, this 150 x 150 cm textile can serve as a table covering, accent layer, or wall hanging. Each piece is unique, with subtle variations in tone and motif that reflect the rhythm of ancestral craft and the patience of its makers.

    About the Region

    Made in Collaboration with Colorindio & Artisans from Pantelhó, Chiapas

    Based in Mexico, this textile collective is dedicated to preserving and elevating Indigenous weaving traditions. Founded with the mission of sustaining artisan communities, it works directly with weavers in Chiapas, Oaxaca, and the Yucatán. Families continue centuries-old techniques, weaving on backstrap and pedal looms and dyeing threads with natural pigments like indigo, cochineal, and local plants.

    Each piece carries with it ancestral stories, rituals, and daily life. Depending on scale and complexity, a single textile can take weeks or even months to complete. The rhythm of weaving echoes the values of patience and care. By working exclusively with natural fibers and dyes, these communities honor both the environment and the integrity of traditional techniques.
