Women, on the other end of the spectrum, have kept to traditional wear much more passionately. Sashes- called Bandas (men’s) and Fajas (women’s) can range from thin to wide, plain to colorful, striped- with or without plaids, to intricate brocaded designs. Wound around the waist several times- often holding up either pants or skirts- men’s sashes are tied at the bellybutton, the ends allowed to tangle in front; women usually wind theirs and tuck the ends to the side or at the back. Tradition varies by region- style, color, pattern, tying methodology. Nothing is haphazard. Weaving is a spiritual tradition- affirming connection with the Gods- bringing myth and prayer into physical manifestation.       Please don’t hesitate to email meif you have any related questions !   ALL SALES ARE FINAL &must be paid for fully within 7 days.
