Limited-Edition Mexican Craft Collection for Pandemic Relief

Hope you are well! This week I am delighted to share some beautiful finds from my partner in Mexico (Fundación Haciendas del Mundo Maya), who has been working hard to create employment opportunities for master craftsmen and women impacted by the pandemic. In partnership with enterprises around Mexico and guidance from Igenris and the United Nations Development Program, they have created a non-profit to promote the production activity of artisans in Mexico who have been affected by the uncertainty caused by social distancing measures. The non-profit guarantees fair income to families and communities with a mission to help preserve the heritage and cultural identity of Mexico.

Under the curatorship and creative direction of México Territorio Creativo and Design Week México, the project has created an incredible collection of limited-edition pieces. Almost 3,000 artisans contributed to the initiative, from 18 different states in Mexico and with more than 16 artisanal techniques. It's an incredible undertaking and I am delighted to share it with you.

Amazingly, the costs of production have already been paid to the artists involved in this important project. All money from sales will, therefore, be invested back into artists’ workshops and production facilities so they can continue to develop beautiful items into the future.

Be in touch to receive the full catalog of all limited-edition pieces. If you see something you like which has been already sold, we are able to pre-order items for you when they’re back in stock. Items can also be slightly modified. Please note, these items are most suitable for smaller retail shops as pieces are extremely limited.
