Spanish term
no desmerezcan ante ellos mismos
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Cercanos al jorongo y al huipil, los sarapes han cumplido oficios varios: conjuro contra la inclemencia del tiempo, ostentación de las vanidades de grupos y personas que más que pertenecer desean formar una sociedad, despliegue del ingenio de los artesanos a los que por arrogancia no se les considera artistas, compañía indispensable en viajes, paseos, cortejos amorosos e incluso, ver grabados de la época, asaltos a diligencias con las variaciones que impone el cambio de costumbres o, si se quiere, las costumbres del cambio, el sarape de Saltillo es una de las hazañas de colectividades de tejedores que, al margen de las recompensas en la mayoría de los casos, trabajan obsesivamente para que sus productos no desmerezcan ante ellos mismos.
