Tzoloj Ya' HuipilEmbroidered flowers on the Tzoloj Ya huipil represent flora of the Guatemalan department of Solol (Tzoloj Ya is the regions pre Columbian name), including the flowering tree, Chinese hibiscus; the evergreen shrub, Madagascar periwinkle; and the purple blossomed sprawling shrub known as Golden dewdrops.

Embroidered flowers on the Tzoloj Ya’ huipil represent flora of the Guatemalan department of Sololá (Tzoloj Ya’ is the region’s pre-Columbian name), including the flowering tree, Chinese hibiscus; the evergreen shrub, Madagascar periwinkle; and the purple-blossomed sprawling shrub known as Golden dewdrops. Embroidered birds near the center represent the many species of birds common to the area. However, the part of the huipil that is most traditional to Sololá is the striped bodice. To create this look, yarn is tie-dyed before being woven (an elaborate technique known as Jaspe or Ikat)—a process that is known in indigenous textile communities around the world. Guatemala’s Jaspe technique is one of the more difficult to weave, and is a defining element of both men and women’s clothing in Sololá.

A large percentage of current residents of Sololá continue to wear traditional Mayan clothing—more so than in other nearby regions—which would include this design for women’s huipiles. Almost all residents of Sololá are Kaqchikel Maya, with some K'iche' Maya. The area is known for its brightly colored buildings and a vibrant artisan marketplace surrounding Lake Atitlán, similar to the brightly colored huipil itself.  Today, Sololá is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Guatemala and also one of the safest for visitors.

My fave ever
I bought this to travel for a summer camp and still use it, two years later! It is now my everyday jewelry container. The gold clasp has held up well and closes well. Very easy to use and structurally sound! I love the color and overall vibe of it too- very straight forward. I use the top portion for long earrings, so know if you do that, it can be finnicky, if you have fun or funky shaped earrings- so just know they may get caught but it's such an easy fix. I would say it is about the size of half of an American Girl doll. Maybe around the size of half a goose.

Love this! Sturdy and elegant
I have a small selection of jewelry pieces I wear but I needed something that would keep them all together in one place. This jewelry box is fantastic! And It fits two pairs of sunglasses on the bottom compartment. I like that there’s a little tab to help pull up the top part. It was actually a bit bigger than expected which is a good thing. And still small enough for traveling. The necklace tabs are sturdy and hold them in place. I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

Get Bejewelled
This box is very nice. It feels sturdy. The color is true to the product picture and the material feels nice. The size is as expected. This was a gift for a young woman; she loved it and that it was cute enough to "fill space" while also being functional.
