Description

Ortega’s Chimayo Handwoven Wool Vest w/ Silk Trim – Women’s S

​​​​​​This women’s Ortega’s Chimayo vest is an authentic handwoven piece crafted in Chimayo, New Mexico, using 100% wool on traditional Rio Grande looms. The vibrant turquoise field showcases classic Ortega’s rosette motifs in red, grey, black, and natural tones, noted for their crisp stepped edges and tight weave. A refined pale aqua silk trim finishes the interior—an uncommon premium detail seen in higher-grade or specialty Ortega’s garments from the late 1980s to mid-1990s. Four traditional braided-style buttons complete the design.

A standout example of regional Southwestern textile craftsmanship, this vest blends collectible artistry with wearable style, making it ideal for Western wear collectors, designers, and Chimayo weaving enthusiasts.

CONDITION

In good condition with gentle signs of use. Light wool fuzzing and minor surface wear are present. Buttons show mild surface cracking yet remain fully functional. Silk trim and lining are intact with no major flaws observed.
