A qualitative methodology and a semiotic analysis are applied, signs, symbols and colors are identified in the fabrics. Through semi-structured interviews and participant observation, the results include the evolution in clothing to industrial production with new materials. The predominant colors include red, pink, green, blue, and white, each with specific connotations; like, the tapes indicate marital status. It can be concluded that the clothing, luxurious in embroidery and symbols, acts as a code of communication: men wear pants and long shirts, while women wear wide skirts and ornaments on their heads, reflecting their identity in a multicultural context and preserving their cultural heritage.[ES] Este estudio explora la relevancia y el simbolismo de las prendas tradicionales del pueblo Puruhá el cual tiene como objetivo identificar los significados comunicacionales de la vestimenta de esta nacionalidad indígena perteneciente a la provincia de Chimborazo en Ecuador.
