One of the garments that distinguishes Mexico is the "rebozo." By itself, the word suggests the act of covering oneself with some clothing, of wrapping oneself up, which means "covering the face from below, up to the nose or eyes, with a cape or another piece of clothing."
 
The use of this garment was born out of the necessity for mestizo women to cover themselves when entering temples. Taking inspiration from the head coverings (toca) that the friars imposed on indigenous women for this reason, as well as from the mantles worn by Spanish women.
 
Indigenous women used to spin fibers with a spindle (uso or malacate) to use in their weaving. Similarly, silk and wool are worked with, without abandoning ixtle or white and coyuebe-colored cotton, of pre-Hispanic origin.
