WORDS FROM OUR COMMUNITY

Diana and Paola have the kindest hearts and work hard to make their customers feel valued. Their products are all carefully hand crafted and beautifully colorful. I have gotten the chance to build a bond with these ladies and learn more about the artisans in Mexico that make their livelihood off of these handmade goods. They regularly have new arrivals and a wide variety of products. I love that each order comes with a free little extra gift too!

I've been shopping with Paola and Diana for over six months, the products are great quality, they are super friendly, honest and willing to work with their customers. I would absolutely love to visit them in person and can't wait to do so!! Below are only very few items I've purchased and gifts i received from these lovely ladies 🖤

This store is spectacular! It has been awesome to watch Diana and Paola progress from a stand at Eastern Market to a colorful, well-designed brick and mortar store across the street. They are proud and passionate about their culture and their energy is infectious! I especially love the leather bags and purses (I have quite a few). Every item is handmade and has a story. This store is a must-see if you are at the market!

AWESOME! I felt like I walked in a boutique in Tlaquepaque Jalisco (Mexico) staff was very knowledgeable of Heritage of their products. Shop felt inviting humble was very clean and organized. He must stop when visiting Easter market/downtown Detroit. I will be going back very soon!
