Illustration of a Mexican pattern. The plant fibers used came mainly from yucca, palm or succulent plants, as well as cotton in the southern plains with a warmer climate. The fabrics are produced in workshops or domestic until the time of Porfirio Díaz (from the late 1880s to 1910), which corresponds to the mechanization of weaving, brought by the French. Clothes, carpets and other items are made from natural fibers and dyes. Most handicrafts are still produced by indigenous communities concentrated in the center and south of the country, particularly in the states of Mexico, Oaxaca and Chiapas. The textile industry remains important for Mexico's economy, despite competition from cheaper products from China, India and Vietnam. Textiles are one of Mexico's most important forms of craftsmanship, retaining the traditional arts while incorporating more modern techniques and patterns.
