👉🏼Camerino Rojas and her family. Together they run a workshop in a little village of Puebla, Mexico🇲🇽. Camerino and her family had always been weavers of palm leaves since they were young. Making baskets, rugs, placemats, and many other home ornaments. More than 20 years ago with weather disasters in the region sustainable palm leaves started to be scarce and that’s when the family, like other artisans of the village, started to think about using other materials to be able to continue doing their crafts and get an income. That’s how they came up with using Aluminium. The nature and metal alloys makes it easy to mold, so it can capture in each piece the personal touch of the artisan. They use the same technique for weaving palm leaves, just the process takes them more time. The results are amazing! We are thrilled to collaborate with Camerino and family to bring to you our unique Lola purse in two sizes and also baskets that will elegantly give an artisanal touch to your spaces.

Simplicity + handmade

🎄🎄Today everything is so commercialized over the holidays. I think it takes away from the spirit of giving. Knowing who you are actually making a purchase from makes the gift you are giving that much more special. Gift small, gift slow, gift handmade, gift ethical. Make a difference.

So grateful and happy for being able to organize and host (with ) a heartful event 👉🏼”celebrating life & honoring our ancestors”👈🏼, last Saturday at . Thanks to the ones who came and of course to & . We managed to create something with substance and to collaborate with open hearts♥️
Today I already prepared another altar at my home to remember & celebrate my ancestors; my loved ones who passed on this world. Tonight the celebrations for Day of the Dead 💀start! a Mexican tradition that goes from 31st Oct to Nov 2. According to tradition, it’s believed that today at midnight, the border between the spirit world and the real world dissolves. During this brief period, the souls of the dead travel to the living world to feast and be with their loved ones. On the 31st the spirits of children are the ones visiting for 24 hours. The spirits of adults can do the same on November 2.
👉🏼What about you? Do you prepare an altar for Halloween or All Saints day?

On remembering your ancestors: by

“If vou do not know their names
Call your own fiercely
If you do not know their faces
Look deeply into yours
If you do not know their presence
Feel into all parts of yourself wholly,
as holy

You will re-member
They are with you
They are you.”

It may seem like it was just yesterday when I was counting down the days until we could dress lighter, more 🌈colorful, enjoy the lake/beach and eat watermelon on the regular to cool off from the heat. Now, summer is almost coming to a close, and fall is right around the corner. As a color lover, I’m not quite ready to move on. A R E Y O U?
Colors make us feel like it’s always summer; happy and warm. Bright hues express energy and celebrate life (specially after 2 years of Pandemia). Don’t misunderstand me, I love black, I really do…what I don’t like is the idea that the changing to FW season must be like changing your wardrobe completely, go more into black, grayish, brownish and soft (sad) colors to wear and forget all your brighter accessories. That’s not even sustainable!

Sooo, if you’re not a 100% ready for a changing in season..like me…don’t you worry. Keep wearing the colors that make you feel YOU, and if you need a different colorful piece in your wardrobe…
👉🏼Just like this gorgeous hammock bag👈🏼
check eshop or come to the Showroom!
You’ll still be able to find our super colorful pieces (the ones still on stock) this upcoming season. For you to brighten up your fall-winter days or make a nice gift to someone. Timeless, slow fashion and sustainability is our core value,

Ahhhh…And yes, in the next weeks you’ll find out about new products that partner-artisans have been crafting for the upcoming months. Specially for Christmas. Can’t wait to show you! But I warned you…still there’ll be color! 🌈🌈
