"Capulanas may be woven or printed. Woven capulanas have geometrical designs, mainly checks. The most common colours are white, very pale yellow, black, red and wine. These are the best quality capulanas, used by women at traditional and religious ceremonies." (Capulanas & Kerchiefs)

"The printed capulanas are found in very variety of design and colour, some African-inspired, others deriving from oriental designs, and still others with modern European motifs from thr 50s, 60s and 70s." (Capulanas & Kerchiefs)
