Hand-Made Corn Motif Blouses from Mexico Among the earliest important cultivated crops in Mexico (sometime around 5,000 to 6,000 years ago) was a small variety of corn with ears about an inch long. From such an unpromising start, corn became the nation’s modus vivendi. In the 1970s, economist Edmundo Flores wrote, “corn is the single most important item in Mexico’s diet, cuisines, mythology, and politics. It is a basic need, a dietary obsession, and a nightmare for the minister of agriculture.”

Corn and Mexico are still so intertwined that when writers here wax poetic, they say that corn signifies life, sustenance, and hope. The Mayans had a legend that man was formed from corn, and an Aztec poem stated “corn is our flesh, our bones, our being, our life.”

These vibrant blouses boast a brilliantly hand-embroidered corn motif on 100% cotton. You'll love them!
