After a few weeks I decided I had to buy it so I went there to try it on, it was the only one left in my size and the super nice employees said it looked really good but i lost hope when I looked at the price tag, almost $4000. I love buying nice clothes, but sometimes I do wonder if it's worth all that money. Every single thing here is made with excellent care and is top quality, and the customer service is amazing too!

This is an overdue review. I finally had to add this business to Yelp. Arte Seda is a family…read morebusiness from the famous textile Pueblo Teotitlan del Valle in the state of Oaxaca. Arte Seda is not just a textile shop. It is also a teaching facility. Because they make their own natural dyes and because they also teach about the 400+ year history of silkworm cultivation and making silk garments in Teotitlan, I had to go visit them. The proprietors have standard sizes for both women and men. They have rack's of shawls aka Rebosas. And my favorite, they will make custom clothes taking your measurements. Their establishment, not too far from Oaxaca Centro is in the Pueblo Teotitlan, definitely worth the visit as it is a beautiful place to spend some time. If you're interested is quality clothing and/or textiles go visit Arte Seda. If you're pressed for time go see the Arte Seda booth at Pochote organic market.
