/ OUR STORY
¡Hola!
​
Founded by a young Mexican jewelry designer with one purpose in mind: sharing to the world the rich culture of Mexico and it's beautiful handmade art, María Calavera features a thoughtfully designed selection of everyday wearable art.
​
What started being the founder's own jewelry line project, quickly transformed into a way to also showcase the one of a kind handbags that she learned to craft during a long trip to Oaxaca city, a trip that she started with a complete different purpose, to study new jewelry techniques. Not shortly after relocating to the U.S. this idea evolved into one mission: Create a platform for high quality Mexican contemporary handcraft designs with each piece reflecting the love for the unique and the extraordinary.
​
Our motivation is to share the beautiful cultural diversity of Mexico while supporting the local economy, promoting the fair trade, the greatness of interculturality and the gorgeous Mexican folklore.
​
We are completely grateful with each and everyone of the talented women and men artisans and artists that have ever collaborated to make María Calavera a reality, while we are still a few, our love for our roots and respect of traditions makes us create wonders.
