The Durango Collection®
Historic/Transitional: 1870-1935

First item Previous item Next item Last item
One of the earliest weaving developments of this era was the "eyedazzler" style, which heavily incorporated the use of the serrate design so common in Hispanic textiles from the region. This combined with the new palette produced textiles that virtually vibrated. The Durango Collection® eyedazzler shows this innovation with its use of bright commercial yarns and strong serrate motifs.
