DETAILS

The Malena Dress is made from soft, breathable manta and features striking floral embroidery from the community of Zinacantán, Chiapas. With a notched neckline, elbow-length sleeves, and an easy A-line silhouette, it’s designed for comfort and impact. The embroidery flows down the front in shades of cherry red, fuchsia, electric pink, golden yellow, marigold, green, purple, and turquoise. Every stitch is done by hand, making each piece one of a kind.

FABRIC

Manta is a traditional Mexican fabric made from 100% cotton. It's lightweight, breathable, and soft—perfect for warmer weather. We leave it undyed to let the embroidery take center stage. The vibrant floral designs are embroidered by hand by artisans in Zinacantán, where embroidery is a deeply rooted tradition passed down through generations.
