Mexican Saltillo wool serape blankets are traditional textiles from the Saltillo region in Coahuila, Mexico, known for their vibrant colors and intricate patterns. Made primarily from wool, these blankets are woven using a labor-intensive loom technique that produces complex, symmetrical designs often featuring diamonds and stripes. The bright, bold colors are achieved through natural dyes from plants, insects, and minerals, although modern versions may use synthetic dyes. Traditionally worn as shawls or cloaks, serapes are now also used as decorative throws, wall hangings, and rugs.

These blankets hold significant cultural value, symbolizing Mexican heritage and craftsmanship. They reflect the rich history and cultural diversity of Mexico, making them a source of national pride. Saltillo serapes are highly regarded for their beauty, quality, and the skilled artistry involved in their creation, making them popular among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
