Apparel fashioned from high quality “manta” and linen manufactured in the nearby Lakeside town of San Luis Soyatlan will be featured at the annual Tarahumara charity Christmas party on Sunday, December 16. The Tarami company has been producing garments from the highly practical and comfortable cotton fabric for more than ten years. Besides focusing on high quality, the company is proud to have kept 25 local women employed sewing and embroidering the garments in typical colonial patterns. For those with more subtle tastes, clothing is enhanced with softer-toned delicate machine embroidery. Another point separating Tarami from the average is that the sizes in both men’s and women’s garments run from extra small to 4X in stock and to 7X by special order. Tarami will also be showing beautiful children’s clothing.
Tickets are 200 pesos and include the Tarami fashion show, pozole (made by Chef Hector España of Manix), tamales, carne asada and free drinks. Vegetarians can have quesadillas upon request. Purchase tickets at the Guadalajara Reporter office in Plaza Bugambilias Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., or at the Monday or Friday markets from Tarami.
The fun begins at 1 p.m. at Ocampo 98 at Seis Esquinas (Six Corners) in Ajijic. For more information or to reserve your spot, call (376) 766-1167.
