Óvalo Blanket
Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom using the rare falsería technique, this throw is a true expression of master craftsmanship. Once widespread in Guatemala, falsería is now practiced by only a few highly skilled artisans capable of executing its complex patterns. This particular design requires the precise coordination of 50 heddles—a level of difficulty that demands deep technical expertise and intimate knowledge of weaving traditions.
The elegant oval motif is especially rare in Guatemalan textiles, where geometric forms typically dominate. Its presence here reflects both innovation and reverence: a bridge between ancestral symbolism and contemporary expression. The flowing curves and balanced rhythm of the pattern echo the refined sensibility of old-world European textiles, reminiscent of some of Regan’s longtime favorite Italian fabric houses—where tradition, sophistication, and artistry converge.
Due to the loom’s width limitations, this piece was woven in narrow panels, each one aligned with great precision. Every seam and finishing detail by Irma —from the custom-designed layout to the hand-executed joinery—was carefully considered to preserve the integrity of the pattern and elevate the final composition.
Finishing touches such as crochet joinery and a hand-stitched blanket edge add strength, refinement, and a quiet softness to the piece. The result is an original, one-of-a-kind textile that honors centuries of craftsmanship while offering a fresh, enduring addition to thoughtful interiors.
