Catrina Poncho Day of the Dead

The Catrina Day of the Death poncho is a black polyester poncho with a large sugar skull, orange-pink flowers and decorative curls on the front. The angled points and sleeve edges are trimmed with long black fringes, while the back remains plain black. You wear it over your own clothes, so black leggings or shiny trousers underneath instantly complete the look for Halloween or Carnival.

Can the Catrina poncho be washed?

• The poncho is made of 100% polyester and, according to the label, should be hand-washed.
• You will receive only the poncho, without trousers, face paint or jewellery.
• The front features a white sugar skull with flowers in the eye sockets and a small cross on the forehead.
• Long fringes in the same black colour trim the pointed hem and wide sleeves.
• The style is cut generously and can be worn by both women and men.

The Mexican Day of the Dead as a costume theme

During Dia de los Muertos, decorated skulls, calaveras and colourful flowers take centre stage, and this imagery is reflected in the print. The painted lady with flowers in her hair is the most famous figure of the celebration and is known as Catrina. Unlike a grim skeleton costume, this look is festive and colourful, so it will also stand out in a dimly lit room. This makes it suitable for a Halloween party, a Mexican-themed party or Carnival.

Completing the Catrina look from head to toe

Under the poncho, it is best to wear something plain black so that the print on the front gets all the attention. White face paint with black outlining around the eyes, small flowers on the cheeks and red lips complete the Catrina look. A headband with fabric roses, large round earrings and black lace gloves complement the style. If you want to keep warmer, combine the poncho with a black dress and boots.
