About Our Founder
Our founder, Rachel, has always been a lover of antiques, design & décor. Drawn to how every aspect of a space – from the colors & textures to the objects & lighting – can enhance our energy & mood; she has, since childhood, carefully curated & crafted each space she has called home.
After moving to Mexico City, where her husband was born & raised, in 2021, Rachel again began searching for unique, one-of-a-kind pieces for their new home. In doing so, she forged relationships with artisans and craftsmen throughout Mexico and began working with them to craft custom pieces inspired by her most treasured antique & vintage home décor.
She now aims to bring her eye for design & vintage home decor together with her artisan relationships to craft heirloom-quality pieces that highlight the beautiful craftsmanship and natural materials of her new home, Mexico.
