The textiles of Mexico have a long history. The making of fibers, cloth and other textile goods has existed in the country since at least 1400 BCE. Fibers used during the pre-Hispanic period included those from the yucca, palm and maguey plants as well as the use of cotton in the hot lowlands of the south. After the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, the Spanish introduced new fibers such as silk and wool as well as the European foot treadle loom. Clothing styles also changed radically. Fabric was produced exclusively in workshops or in the home until the era of Porfirio Díaz (1880s to 1910), when the mechanization of weaving was introduced, mostly by the French. Today, fabric, clothes and other textiles are both made by craftsmen and in factories. Handcrafted goods include pre-Hispanic

dbo:abstract
  • Les textiles mexicains sont le fruit d'une longue histoire, remontant au moins à -1400. Avant la période hispanique, les fibres végétales utilisées provenaient principalement du yucca, du palmier ou de plantes succulentes, ainsi que du coton dans les plaines du sud au climat plus chaud. Après la chute de l'Empire aztèque, les Espagnols amènent avec eux de nouvelles matières premières, comme la soie et la laine, ainsi que des techniques européennes comme l'utilisation du métier à tisser. Les styles vestimentaires changent aussi significativement. Les tissus sont produits dans des ateliers ou de façon domestique jusqu'à l'époque de Porfirio Díaz (de la fin des années 1880 à 1910), qui correspond à la mécanisation du tissage, apportée par les français. De nos jours, les textiles pour l'habillement ou d'autres applications sont fabriqués industriellement ou par des artisans. Les produits encore fabriqués à la main comptent notamment des vêtements préhispaniques comme des huipils ou des sarapes, souvent brodés. Les habits, les tapis et d'autres pièces sont faits à partir de fibres et de teintures naturelles. La plupart des objets artisanaux sont encore produits par des communautés indigènes concentrées dans le center et le sud du pays, particulièrement dans les états de Mexico, Oaxaca et Chiapas. L'industrie textile reste importante pour l'économie du Mexique, malgré la concurrence de produits moins chers en provenance de Chine, d'Inde et du Vietnam. (fr)

Today, fabric, clothes and other textiles are both made by craftsmen and in factories. Handcrafted goods include pre-Hispanic clothing such as huipils and sarapes, which are often embroidered. Clothing, rugs and more are made with natural and naturally dyed fibers. Most handcrafts are produced by indigenous people, whose communities are concentrated in the center and south of the country in states such as Mexico State, Oaxaca and Chiapas. The textile industry remains important to the economy of Mexico although it has suffered setback due to competition by cheaper goods produced in countries such as China, India and Vietnam. (en)
