ABOUT

Ecuador shirt is a traditional cloth in Ecuador. The ancient Ecuadorians created this type of shirt many years ago, in 1866 for Mexican buyers and used to sell it at a cheap rate. In its shape, as well as its colors and materials (colorful threads on white cotton shirts) it looks so good. Especially in the summer, these are comfortable to wear on because of the materials used in this. All products are completely hand-made to preserve cultural heritage. For daily use, people love these embroidered shirts because of the uniqueness in designs and the colors. They think the colors encourage them to live happily and colorfully. They often design flowers in the shirts which indicates the purity of their thoughts. The women wear skirts with the shirts and wear colorful headbands. As over time, the fanbase of this shirt has spread all over the world, now the Ecuadorian manufacturers provide these products with good prices all around. This is a good source of earnings for them and only source for some. They earn this much that they do not look for any other work other than producing the shirts.
