Sikuli Shawl

Discover "Sikuli," a beautiful shawl inspired by the Huichol word meaning, "the power to see and understand things unknown." This unique piece embodies the essence of dreaming, as we all experience dreams during sleep—some vivid and memorable, while others fade away. The concept for this shawl came to me in a dream, resembling an open window to another world, featuring a striking motif of a circle within a square.

This shawl combines artistry and functionality, making it an exquisite addition to any wardrobe. Whether you're looking to add a pop of color to your outfit or seeking a cozy wrap for chilly evenings, the "Sikuli" shawl serves both purposes beautifully.
