Based in: México

When Camelia Ramos’ father passed away, he imparted to her a legacy: "I’m proud to leave you knowing I’ve taught you my craft, but now you have a commitment to not let this artistry die." Camelia embraced this solemn pledge with unwavering determination. Together with her husband, she tends to the flame of tradition in their artisanal workshop, El Xoxopastli, where the soulful art of rebozo making finds its sanctuary. Here, amidst the hum of meticulous craftsmanship, rebozos are not mere products of assembly lines or cold machinery. Instead, they are borne from a labor of love, each thread a testament to the enduring spirit of cultural preservation. 

In addition to mastering the traditional rebozo, she has innovated designs that encapsulate its essence. Each creation stands as a testament to her deep devotion to the craft. These pieces invite personal interpretation and style! Yet, amidst this freedom, lies a crucial understanding: the profound significance of the narrative and heritage woven into every thread.

I’m giving you my life made in a rebozo,” she proudly says. "My life hangs by a thread, and each thread carries my essence. Just like blood runs through my veins, so does thread. Because this is the wonder of being able to give you part of my being and my soul, captured in a rebozo."

About the Technique

Ikat, a time-honored artisanal technique exemplified by the masterful craftsmanship of Camelia Ramos, represents a marriage of artistry and tradition. Rooted in the ancient practice of resist dyeing, Ikat stands as a testament to the meticulous skill and creative ingenuity of its practitioners. Unlike typical methods where patterns are either applied superficially or woven directly into the fabric's structure, Ikat weaves its magic through a series of deliberate and intricate steps. Central to the technique is the deliberate manipulation of yarns, both for the warp (longitudinal threads) and the weft (transverse threads). Before dyeing, sections of these yarns are meticulously protected with a resist material, oftentimes wax or tying, to preserve their original color. This painstaking preparatory phase lays the foundation for the distinctive allure of Ikat.

The dyeing process itself is a delicate dance of hues and gradients. Immersed in vats of natural or synthetic dyes, the unprotected portions of the yarn eagerly absorb the vibrant pigments, while the shielded segments retain their pristine hue. Through successive dye baths and meticulous adjustments, the desired pattern emerges, a testament to the artisan's vision and expertise. Once dyed, the yarns are carefully arranged on a loom, ready to be transformed into a textile masterpiece. With each pass of the shuttle, the pattern gradually takes shape, as the dyed yarns interlace with the uncolored threads. The resulting fabric is a symphony of color and design, where every thread tells a story of craftsmanship and tradition.

What sets Ikat apart is not just its visually stunning aesthetics but also its inherent sense of unpredictability and individuality. The slight imperfections and irregularities that characterize Ikat textiles serve as a reminder of its handmade origins, infusing each piece with a sense of warmth and authenticity.

In the hands of Camelia Ramos, Ikat transcends mere fabric; it becomes a canvas for artistic expression and cultural heritage. Through her skilled hands, timeless patterns come to life, weaving together generations of tradition with contemporary flair. Each piece bearing her signature reflects not just the mastery of a technique but the soulful dedication of an artisan committed to preserving the legacy of Ikat for generations to come.

About Camelia Ramos

Camelia Ramos Zamora was born on September 17, 1969, originally from Tenancingo, but as she claims, she was reborn in Malinalco, State of Mexico. She is now the fifth generation of backstrap loom weavers. From a young age, she was attracted to shawls, not knowing that her father had been a shawl craftsman since he was 13 years old but had abandoned it due to his economic situation to become a bricklayer. Enthusiastic about this art, she asked her father, the master craftsman Isaac Ramos, to teach her the artistry of rebozo making.

At first, Don Isaac was hesitant to teach her because traditionally the art of rebozo making was a man’s job and the woman would focus on refining the rebozo ends by twisting, braiding, and tying the ends. It wasn’t until Camelia’s husband, José Mancio, had a conversation with her father about also learning the art of rebozo making that her father showed up the next day to pass on his knowledge of rebozo backstrap loom weaving under the training of more than two years.

Since 1992, Camelia Ramos has overcome gender stigmas by inheriting the knowledge and work that was considered typical of men in her state. Her work meant the rescue of the making of the shawl on a backstrap loom, the use of the ikat technique with natural dyes, as well as the ancient rapacejo, following what she learned from her father. Then he decided to go one step forward: she innovated in the design of garments and accessories made with rebozos to transform into blouses or the traditional quexquemitl.

Today, Camelia and her husband José lead El Xoxopastli, an artisanal workshop that makes textile canvas on pedal and backstrap looms to keep the traditional rebozo techniques alive.

Protected my kids through 7 hours of sun and water—no burns at all!
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is the real deal. We spent a full day, about 6 to 7 hours, at a water park under the blazing sun. My kids were running around nonstop, in and out of the water, and we reapplied every 30-45 minutes. Not a single sunburn. Their skin looked exactly the same by the end of the day, no redness, no irritation. Meanwhile, I skipped sunscreen and got absolutely fried. Lesson learned. Goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave a sticky residue, and held up amazingly even with water play. I’ll be buying this on repeat all summer.

Smells great. Tough to remove.
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The smell is great and very nostalgic, but it has a sticky/tacky feel on the skin. It's hard to get off even with a lot of scrubbing with soap and hot water. They weren't joking that it stays on through water and sweat.

A TERRIFIC FIND FOR US IN ECUADOR
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Here in Ecuador, this product isn't even available to us. I have the most precious 20 month old girl living with us and of course I wanted to get a quality product at less cost. This fits the bill. With an SPF 100 rating from a decades old and trusted manufacturer and a price that is less than one third of what I would have to pay for any sort of water resistant equivalent, this was a no brainer. If you buy this product, please read the instructions and follow them. It is a spray product that great care should be used to avoid spraying directly on the face--------- either your own or the child's. Spray it on your hand and apply it to any face that needs it. It's convenient for neck, shoulders, backs and legs due to its spray delivery. Our little 20 month old must be part fish because she loves the thermal pools we take her to and this product seems quite durable

SPF 100 FTW
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I find it very important to have strong sunscreen. Thankfully I found this with 100 SPF. So glad plus I’m happy that I found it in spray because it’s so much easier to apply the kids and then I just have them rub it in. It also makes reapplying so much easier because just start spraying and have them turn around and around that you’re good to go.

Not eczema skin friendly
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Since I didn’t remember which sunblock spray I had previously purchased (that was super awesome), I got this one with a few other ‘kid’ sunblock spray and stick. I had grabbed this one for a splash pad birthday party this weekend only to find out it’s messy and not eczema skin friendly. Either we got a defective bottle or it’s just the way it sprays: runny goops of sunscreen that takes awhile to dry properly (see photo). And when it dries it really does stick onto your skin as advertised (aka not breathable, pore clogging, will irritate sensitive/eczema prone skin). My youngest has eczema prone skin (that’s been flare up free for 3 years) had a severe break out on her arms after using this. And even for the sake of photo demonstration for this post my own sensitive skin got red/irritated. So does it stick-yup. Is it messy? Definitely. Easy to apply? No (your kiddos have to stay put until it dries). Did it provide sun protection? Maybe…? Sensitive skin friendly? No. Eczema skin approved? Definitely not. Recommended? Nope. We threw it away and requested a refund.
