Chichicastenango Woven Textile Poncho with Black Jade

Wear a Story in Colour

Step into colour and imagination with this statement poncho, featuring a richly patterned textile from Chichicastenango, Guatemala—known affectionately as Chichi. A fantasy bird reminiscent of a quetzal spreads its sweeping plumage across the chest, surrounded by vibrant geometric motifs. At its heart, a polished black jade centrepiece brings a dark, luminous contrast to the vivid threads.

Rooted in Place, Alive with Imagination

Brilliant pinks and reds meet touches of green, yellow and blue in a composition full of character. The bird’s fantastical form invites your own interpretation—a suggestion of flight, freedom or a connection to the natural world. Together, the textile’s intricate patterns and bold silhouette make this piece an expressive work of wearable art.

Crafted with Earth and Colour

Fringes of our signature handmade ceramic beads add texture, weight and movement to the textile. Their earthy finish complements the smooth black jade, bringing together contrasting materials in a piece that moves with you.

A Shape to Make Your Own

Wear it over a simple dress or top, letting its colours and flowing fringe become the focal point. Gently shift the poncho on your shoulders to explore different ways it sits and falls. Keep it centred for a balanced silhouette, or move it slightly to one side for a more asymmetrical look.

For art openings, celebrations or days that call for something extraordinary, Ave de Ensueño brings imagination into the everyday.
