When the world was struck by the pandemic in March 2020, our lives took an unexpected turn. With safety concerns restricting our movements and leaving us uncertain about the future, we found solace in the digital world and the power of social media. As we immersed ourselves in this new virtual landscape, a spark ignited within us, leading to a life-changing decision.
Amidst the chaos, we stumbled upon posts about facemask making, crafting, and a wave of creativity that was sweeping the online community. It was in that moment that we felt a calling, a desire to contribute and make a difference. Determined to protect ourselves and others when facemasks were in short supply, we embarked on a mission to learn the art of sewing and create facemasks to donate to those in need.
With sheer determination and a willingness to explore uncharted territory, we dove into the world of sewing. Armed with passion and a thirst for knowledge, we taught ourselves the intricacies of the craft, from understanding different fabrics to honing our sewing techniques. We poured countless hours into perfecting our skills, and before we knew it, we had sewn 600 facemasks, each one meticulously crafted with love and care.
As we immersed ourselves in this creative journey, a newfound passion took hold. The world of sewing opened doors we never expected, revealing a world brimming with colors, textures, and endless possibilities. The desire to create beauty with our own hands grew stronger, and we realized that this was only the beginning of an extraordinary adventure.
Inspired by our Mexican heritage, we knew that we wanted to share the richness of our culture and support the talented artisans who bring it to life. Mexico is a country renowned for its diverse artistic traditions, where skilled artisans pass down their craft through generations. We recognized the importance of honoring these Mexican artisans and their incredible craftsmanship.
Today, as we stand before you, we proudly present a platform that celebrates the work of Mexican artisans. Through our carefully curated collection, we offer a tapestry of colors, patterns, and designs that showcase the extraordinary talents of these artisans.

We firmly believe in fair trade principles, ensuring that the artisans receive fair compensation for their remarkable creations. Through our platform, we aim to create opportunities that uplift and support these artisans, enabling them to continue their craft and preserve their cultural heritage.
We invite you to join us on this exhilarating journey, where together, we can celebrate the vibrancy, resilience, and creativity of Mexico's artisans.
