Charro hat The charro hat (Mexican rider) is one of the most representative elements of
Mexicanness. It is made with rabbit skin through an elaborate process that involves a special
treatment and ironing. Its decoration requires a laborious hand embroidery with multicolored
or single-tone threads.

The sarape is a masculine garment that began to be used as a shelter to protect oneself from
cold nights in the open. Its origin dates back to the eighteenth century in the state of Tlaxcala,
although being taken to the north of the country, the city of Saltillo became the main
producer of sarapes.

Black clay crafts The black clay craftsmanship is an emblem of the state of Oaxaca. Although
this type of pottery is distributed in most of the country, it is in the Oaxacan village of San
Bartolo Coyotepec, where the raw material is extracted and the beautiful ornamental pieces

are made.

Talavera The craft par excellence of the states of Puebla and Tlaxcala is the talavera. The
talavera was introduced more than four centuries ago by the Spanish colonizers, who
imported the techniques of Arab pottery.
