Aplicación de la técnica del bordado de la comunidad Zuleta en prendas de indumentaria, para fortalecer y difundir la identidad del pueblo Karanqui

Abstract

This research project develops the application of the embroidery technique of the Zuleta community in clothing, in collaboration with the "Organización de producción artesanal bordadoras artesanas de Zuleta". The purpose of the integrative work is the production of garments with the application of handmade embroidery for national and international commercialization. The study allows for investigating the symbolic and aesthetic aspects of Zuleteño embroidery, proposing innovative garments in design, material, and textile inputs. The work is developed in several stages consisting of the problem statement, bibliographic research, analysis of the context in which the handicraft sector is located, application of research methodologies, and finally the planning and development of the design proposal. The results of the client's analysis show his appreciation for the craftsmanship and quality of the garment. The user prefers superior garments made of light and comfortable materials that can be used mainly in recreational and/or work activities. In a survey conducted with the potential user, 3 collections (icon, fashion, and basic) of 6 outfits each are proposed, from which, depending on their preference, the user selects two garments per collection, being the most popular garments to be made. The materialization of the garments is made with light textiles based on cotton and synthetic fibers.
