The Zarape Reversible Hoodie features organic and sustainable materials made with dignity. The one-of-a-kind, hand-made textiles are sourced from Hueyapan, Mexico where the art of natural, chemical-free dyeing is a long-standing tradition. The locally-sourced materials are used to create beautifully, deliberately embroidered rebozos that take up to one year to craft. They are inspired by local wildlife, spiritual beliefs, and other elements of ancient history, in this way weaving centuries of wisdom and tradition into these artisanal textiles. The dyes used to color the fabric are the result of thousands of years of tradition and experience in dying fabrics with plants, fruits, and other natural elements. Blues, greens, and blacks all use the indigo plant. Reds, pinks and purples utilize cochineal.

MYM Organics and Nomadic Outpost have come together to modernize this traditional work of art in the form of a hooded sweater that features carbon de coco-dyed 100% organic french terry lining, cochineal-dyed hand-spun wool thread, two pockets, and a water-based screen-printed image of the highly coveted Quetzal flying above the volcano, Popocatépetl, located in the Hueyapan region of Mexico. 

The resplendent Quetzal is an important symbol in both Aztec and Mayan culture. Its name, quetzal, means "precious" or "sacred" in several Mesoamerican languages, so it's no surprise this bird itself is considered divine. The Quetzal is associated with the snake god Quetzalcoatl and is seen as a symbol for goodness and light.
