This is an Antique Mexican Saltillo or Souvenir Blanket. This specific Saltillo is elevated for its tighter weave and intricate pattern. Two characteristics in Saltillos that we do not see often. This piece is an absolute show stopper! Saltillos are highly prized items in Mexican Society because of their fine weave, striking colors and harmony of design. Saltillos are hand woven and this one is made with wool. If you have skin sensitivity to wool or fabrics considered to be itchy, do not purchase this piece. Lady Lancaster wears these with a tank top but you may be more comfortable wearing the Saltillo with long sleeves due to the itch factor. This is a collector’s item and an editorial piece of wearable art. This piece has a very flattering drape. PLEASE NOTE: the sleeves are 1 1/2” longer than our standard Helen pattern. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.

Please note that all of our jackets are made from antique quilts and the fabric reflects this. Our fabrics are sometimes older than 100 years old and are perfectly worn. We believe this is what makes them special and is part of their charm. All of our garments are pre-washed in a special restoration quilt wash. We recommend only spot cleaning if necessary.
