Our etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ModaTierra is now up-to-date with our latest items from Mexico. It was a great opportunity to be in México for Christmas and New Years to get to know some of the women that we work with. Here is a shot of Prema talking to a mother/daughter team from Santo Tomás, Oaxaca. We fell in love with this weaving technique, and brought back several different sized bags that Maria (the mother) is already making in very contemporary designs. Its amazing how these Zapotec women from a small village in Oaxaca can have a sense of
urban style -- but they get it!Emily took a break from s
hopping to check out the ruins of Toniná, Chiapas. The amazing thing about Chiapas is that some of the Mayan rituals practiced at the very ruins she visited are still alive and well in Chiapas.
We were amazed, yet again, at how much Oaxaca and Chiapas have to offer.
