A poncho is a sleeveless garment with open sides and a hole for the head to go through. The poncho’s origins are owed to the people along the Andes in South America. It is in fact a symbol of cultural heritage for many people in the continent. Credit for its design goes to the Mapuche who were skilled weavers and occupied most of modern-day Chile and Argentina as far back as 500 BC. It is through them, that the poncho spread across Latin America and Spain. The poncho, at this time, was not only used for its practical purpose - being a thick garment to ward off the elements while working, but also as a symbol of power and authority for older tribesmen. The poncho's practical use even extended into the western world, with many synthetic variations being employed as raincoats in the US civil war.

When the winter poncho arrived in Mexico, it became a cultural symbol and one of the most recognized garments in the country. It went from being a practical piece of wear to one that was expertly crafted to be a fashion accessory.

Winter Poncho in Pop Culture

The poncho found its way into many spaghetti westerns of the time. Set in the wild west, these pieces of clothing were integral attire for several of the cast, with the most famous probably being Clint Eastwood in the film ‘A fist full of dollars. The rise in popularity of using it in daily life coincided with its use in movies, with many using the garment in the 60s and 70s. Soon the rugged design for the original was replaced with hand-knitted serape blankets, crocheted and macrame options.
