There are still young women who wear the "traditional" clothing--you have to go far from civilization, though. The "traditional" clothing is actually more the exact same clothing that the Spanish women wore who traveled with the conquistadors. It's just that they thought Spanish clothing was new & exciting & the Incas were now subjugated peoples....In the modern world they are being subjugated by American culture & the internet.<br /><br />I wanted to buy the traditional clothing while I was in Peru, but they don't sell it in the marketplace, because the women make their own, doh! I did buy a traditionally woven scarf-like thingie that is used to carry babies & market purchases.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164143215037785234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-29941147045156861172011-11-07T04:07:34.646-05:002011-11-07T04:07:34.646-05:00Welcome back, Trena!
