Piteado's global Capital?

This work fur embroidery threads come to Europe at the time of the Crusades between Xl and Xll century. With the military campaigns at the request of the Papacy against the Seljuk Turks and Saracens (so named before the Muslim) culture embroidered fur then spreads throughout Asia where he found a crib in Persian. In Europe found in a type of charro charreria born in Spain and very popular and some modifications are added as the chiseling and engraving is finally brought to America by the Spaniards in this specific area are commanded by around 1530 by Pedro Chirinos Almindez settlers show that this noble work the natives of New Spain (including the Huichol Indians) that have developed in each area as a style is not better or worse than it is elsewhere.
At this time this colonial town was an important commercial center for its strategic location between the cities of Guadalajara and Zacatecas But now in its economic programs and state government in promoting a major source of employment and tourist attraction in this region disseminated and promoted this art like no other place in the world where there are also skin edge original handmade pita, a promoter regulatory committee and board does not reflect the real improvements for encouraging artisans who are increasingly migrating to the U.S. (Ideas and somewhat feudal agricultural cooperatives in a mistake of trying to politicize this fine art at the enterprise level and with strong market demands, in this specific region and the mindset among participants have never worked).
It is true that this area was the first to export its products to Spain in the colonial era and the United States in this modern era because it had misled the majority of craftsmen from other states and communities that only they met the requirements and standards for export, until the opening of free trade and the release of some customs duty tariffs

There are cities that call themselves the world capital of coffee, joy, remembrance, and so on. Some historians say that area and tell you that once the teacher Asael Balam Ku (One of the major drivers of this art in this area) wrote: That during the Porfiriato reached Colotlán Jalisco Mexico (north of the state) a man from a region between the states of Puebla and Oaxaca (could be of Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas have shown where the conditions for the cultivation of a kind of maguey which is extracted or pita ixtle) and settled in the city, devoted to the harness. Something that attracted much attention when it was made of gun holsters embroidered the initials of the owner with a fine thread it twisted. The fibers with which it will conduct such a thin thread ixtle who were brought there from their land we call pita ". The work was simple in principle to expand and refine other saddler.
Last century the masters of embroidery in original cactus Thread in Colotlán, Jalisco embroidery purify and strengthen this activity, the degree of turning this city into the Capital of piteado, self and after the First National Piteado Fair in May 1992, formerly known as the regional fair. Works made by this community have been shown in national and international sideboards. Currently, there are 40 in Colotlán saddlery workshops and a number not calculated embroiderers including women and children, human effort to ensure that they are capable of producing belts 10,000 per month, which those who know this art know that this number of people is not enough for such production, following the bad example of producers, regulators, associations and committees of the same tequila fallidamente state have tried to keep patents, names, embroideries and styles of intellectual property that they control all of the monopoly only to be the only place with the exclusive rights to produce and harness embroidered on pita manipulating media and concepts encyclopedias installed in a convenience in handling the search engines cyberneticians Wikipedia, concepts and myths like that embezzling was there only produce the best pita embroidery work, and suggested so-called "age of piteado in Mexico" on the basis of the chronological age of some of its local personalities engaged in the saddlery and embroidered pita. When dispersed in other communities in the state of Jalisco, Zacatecas, Michoacan, Guerrero, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Sinaloa and San Luis Potosí in Mexico country, groups of artisans with better quality than the absence of government incentives and promotions sell their embroidery products to this region of Jalisco particular has become nothing more than a collection of embroiderers art that sometimes end badly for final resale.

It is worth noting, that there was not born this art of embroidery on leather that we saw had its beginning in Arab villages even before Christ embroidered with silk thread to make gold and silver papal vestments and the royalty of Europe. We believe that a community is considered an art CAPITAL PITEADO should feel that art in its parks, its churches, its streets, in the manufacture of this art by real artists in several articles of common use, not just belt mountings or accessories and that at least more than half of the residents of this community to engage in such activity. Good land husbandry Jalisco, tequila, mezcal, mariachi and a large number of charros that preserve the tradition, is a guarantee that piteado may endure forever in the taste of good Mexican dress. In our production line we have an imitation of pita made of cotton that needs to be very knowledgeable to distinguish the original work (but even from our factory with export quality monitoring and regain the confidence of what is real pita original label just as normatively Leather Crafts Embroidered with cotton thread imitation pita) And while we do the designs (in pita original) improved in that area by far better in quality and price. We have in mind that we do NOT want to contribute to the extinction of this noble profession, and that the people involved in this make migrations, but to foster, and avoid making similar designs, which manages the area. Our works have an elegant art touch. As an artisan working rights reserved some are difficult to define since it is known that an item is never identical to another's patent and technology spread throughout the world is entirely handmade.
