Made by hand

Hecho a Mano

For over 25 years, we have collaborated with local artisans in San Miguel de Allende to blend our modern style with timeworn techniques. The result is handcrafted, high quality, and finished with character.

Made to order

Hecho a la Medida

Your next statement piece isn’t manufactured in bulk - it’s waiting on you. Each item in our store is carefully handcrafted, hand painted, and available only after your order has been placed. 

Made Fair

Hecho Justo

We are committed to providing the most earth-friendly products for your home. Because of this, we ensure all paper products are recyclable and every piece is finished with natural, safe ingredients.
