Stitched by Hand, Meant to Be Gathered Around

In a quiet Mexico City workshop, a textile collective is keeping the art of hand embroidery alive. Rooted in heritage and a reverence for the table, these artisans craft linens that feel intimate, textured, and timeless.

Embroidery in Mexico dates back to the pre-Hispanic era, with techniques evolving over centuries. The Otomi people, for instance, are known for their vibrant, symbolic designs that reflect their connection to nature and community.

The Artisan's Craft

Each piece is a labor of love, with natural cottons and linens chosen for their drape and feel. Designs are stitched entirely by hand—some drawn from tradition, others from memory—all shaped by women who’ve spent a lifetime threading stories into fabric.

How It's Made:

  • Begins with natural fibers chosen for softness and flow
  • Hand-embroidered using generational techniques
  • Each piece can take days or weeks to finish
  • No two are exactly alike—each one bears the rhythm of its maker

Why It Lives Here

These linens soften a space, elevate moments, and bring people together. They do more than dress the table—they honor it, weaving stories and tradition into every thread. For us, these are not just table linens. They’re a gesture of care—an homage to women’s work, domestic beauty, and the small touches that make a meal feel like home.
