About us
I was a fashion designer for many years and traveled the world seeking inspiration. On those trips, I was always seeking the unique handmade handicrafts made in each country. On each trip, I tried to bring home something special that represented something made in that country. I primarily went to India and the Far East. Seven years ago, I met my partner, Jim, and he showed me Mexico-now one of my favorite places to visit.
This business started with handcrafted jewelry made in Oaxaca discovered on one of our Mexican trips. I could not believe how beautiful it was and really difficult to find in the states! We watched the filigree jewelry being painstakingly made from molten silver to the most beautifully designed earrings. Wow-it was incredible to see! The next trip, I discovered the Purepecha Rebozo’s made in Michoacán. These are hand loomed shawls finished with feathers and silk or as they say ‘flowers’. What beautiful color combinations and craftsmanship!
In the spring of 2023, we drove from Santa Fe to Oaxaca with our Bearded Collie, Duncan and lived in Oaxaca for 4 months. It was amazing and the drive was not bad. This trip I found a great vintage jewelry contact. We drove back to the US through Taxco so we could see the ‘silver city’. I searched for artists who made the beautiful designs.
Here, you will find everything handmade, one of a kind, and beautifully designed. Everything is hard or impossible to find without traveling. Often, my friends will be traveling to Mexico and ask where can they shop for this jewelry. My answer is that you don’t see these items at markets-they are really difficult to find. The purpose of this website is to make these beautiful handmade items available to everyone.
These are all things I love to wear and create a beautiful statement. The fashion designer in me says ‘be original and your own person. These items will help create your own individual look. Enjoy and if you buy, you will not be disappointed! Our customerscome back repeatedly.
