This is one of my favorite women/Latina owned businesses! I'm from the north of Mexico but in my heart, I'm from the south, where Oaxaca (wah-haak-kah) is located and indigenous culture and traditions are being preserved. Esther, the owner, is from there and her passion for helping her community resulted in her starting this business. Oaxaca is renowned for its artisans and beautiful handcrafted art and products. Esther has made it her mission to share them with us and to help the artisans that make them. When you purchase anything form them, you are helping transform lives by putting money directly into the hands of the original craftsperson.At first, Hilo de Amor became popular for their big, colorful tote bags, but now they have much more than just handbags. On their website, you can see their full inventory including apparel, jewelry, hair accessories, home decor, accessories and even select food items like mole and chocolate! If you like authenticity, quality handmade items can and supporting a good cause, this is the business for you! I have three bags and they look brand new despite them being purchased years ago.
