Mexican Saltillo wool serape blankets are traditional textiles from Saltillo, Coahuila, renowned for their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and high-quality craftsmanship. These blankets are typically made from wool, though modern versions may use cotton or synthetic fibers. The weaving technique is labor-intensive, producing complex and detailed designs often featuring diamonds, stripes, and geometric patterns. Traditional dyes from natural sources give the serapes their bold colors, though synthetic dyes are also used today.

Historically worn as shawls or cloaks, especially by men, Saltillo serapes now also serve as decorative throws, wall hangings, and rugs. They symbolize Mexican heritage and craftsmanship, reflecting the country's rich history and cultural diversity. Saltillo serapes are celebrated for their beauty and cultural significance, making them popular both in Mexico and among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
