Julio Laja Chichicaxtle

Booth 118

When he was 10 years old, Julio Laja Chichicaxtle’s grandmother introduced him to Otomí embroidery, an artistic tradition of the Otomí people of Mexico’s Central Plateau. The family’s business is Manteles Bordados Otomí Hechos A Mano. Its embroidered textiles feature natural designs, such as animals, flowers, the moon and the sun, as well as geometric symbols and motifs.
