The following brochure in pdf tells the story of one common way to make authentic Mexican rebozos. To read it on the computer without downloading or printing it, start at the third column (farthest to the right) on page one, which is the cover. Then skip down to the second page, and read it through. Finally, go back and read the first and second columns on the first page.
