My grandmothers were beautiful, loving, daring and pillars of strength. Lola and Tula came from two very different places in Mexico. One North, from the desert country. The other, South from the jungles of the Nayar mountains. Lola, with her dark Huichol skin, her hair coarse and white. Tula, with a face like porcelain, a mother to children who freckled in the sun, from the state of Sonora close to the American border. In a country and time where women were usually not owners,  not bread winners and didn't have contradictory voices- these women were doing just that. Where many women of this time and place were usually left in quiet corners to go unnoticed and under appreciated, these two defied expectations. This site, in a small but meaningful way serves to remember their spirit and being part of their legacy is an honor. 

This brand hopes to mirror my admiration and respect for women like my grandmothers. With creations that embody high standards of quality, traditions from generations past and the artistry of the people of Mexico. 

I am thrilled to offer these gorgeous items to those who already share my passion for the incredible art work of Mexico, and even more excited to help those discovering these treasures. It's what I love best, mixing the old and new, sleek lines and ornate embellishments, bringing worlds together, just like my grandmothers.
