This means you can be sure that the product you purchase and enjoy was lovingly made and directly supports keeping the Zapotepec traditions alive.įrom gathering nuts and berries to make dyes, dying each color of thread used, spinning the wool, assembling the Seat Poncho base on a loom, to finally sewing the Seat Poncho together, the process to make one Seat Poncho, is more than one week! Far from an assembly line, or factory, the work is time consuming and delicate. The wages and time required for our products are set by our workers, and are never dictated by us. The Indigenous villages of Oaxaca are beautiful, simple places, where family is everything, and textile crafts are their lifeblood. After much searching we found a family and then embarked to study the Zapotepec ways, learning about all of the materials they used, where they are sourced (all in the local mountains), and even visiting the farms where the wool comes from. To make The Seat Poncho we traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico in search of talented textile craftspeople. The back features three handy large pockets for storing all of your gear, such as Laptops, Tablets, Books, Walkie Talkies, and more! Utilizing all natural dyes, and hand spun wool yarn, each Seat Poncho is made on an old fashioned loom using ancient techniques passed down through generations of Zapotepec.
Designed to fit most front car seats with removable headrests, each Seat Poncho is handmade by an Indigenous Zapotepec family in the mountains outside Oaxaca City, Mexico. “The Seat Poncho” is a stunning, handmade, wool seat cover and organizer inspired by the traditional Poncho, a sleeveless garment popular in Latin America.
