Inspired by her mother’s Mexican heritage and love of Mexican art, Mi Golandrina founder Christina Lynch wanted to continue telling the rich cultural story of her country by empowering local artisans to create garments using techniques indigenous to their community—whether that’s weaving on a backstrap loom, hand-pulling thread to create cut-out lace, or embroidering flowers by memory. Each piece in the collection is a true representation of the the identity and culture of the people who made them. The OTM Exclusive Lolita Short Dress is made in Huixtan, a Tzotzil Maya town known for its fine embroidery, which is found scattered throughout each tier of this relaxed silhouette. Easy to dress up or down, this lightweight piece will surely become a summer favorite.
Product Details
Cotton. Made in Huixtan, a Tzotzil Maya town in the southernmost state of Chiapas, Mexico.

The traditional embroidery uses a prestige thread known as "artisela" that is finer than yarn or estambre.
