Chamantos, ponchos and Balandres in Colchagua and Rancagua (XVII-XIX centuries)
Abstract
We study the history of ponchos, balandres and chamantos from notary and judicial sources of Colchagua and Rancagua, from the early eventeenth century to the midnineteenth century. This source provides relevant knowledge about the presence of
these tissues in chilean society, its social and economic value, its historical cycles and its color characteristics. It demonstrates the deep rootedness of tissue culture within the mestizo society of the Central Valley of Chile, and its ties to the tradition of the indigenous world. The existence of the chamanto from the decade of 1820 in this
region, base of the current Denomination of Origin, is demonstrated.
