The Haciendas del Mundo Maya Foundation, Taller Maya, Mexico Territorio Creativo, Design Week Mexico, and Caralarga have come together to create a space for exchange and collaboration with over two hundred artisan groups throughout Mexico to produce a collection that generates income for these groups, who celebrate and preserve Mexico‘s cultural heritage through the techniques they work with.

Noma, one of the most renowned restaurants in the world located in Copenhagen, is an important ally for us. Over time, we have collaborated on different projects such as the development of their hand-sewn henequen keychains, made by the artisans of the henequen sewing workshop, with themes from the seasonal menu such as Forest & Game and Vegetable Season.

In 2017, we collaborated with French designer Christian Louboutin to develop the Mexican collection. For this project, more than 150 artisans who collaborate with Taller Maya wove applications with traditional motifs to be integrated into the design of a limited edition collection of 2000 bags that represented four months of income for the involved artisans.
