🍂 Styling our autumnal evenings at home in the Netherlands with Mexican woven cotton textiles and Finnish cast iron casserole by IITTALA - the cast iron material and detachable wooden handle draw inspiration from ancient Finnish folklore.
One of our cozy-day recipes is a family favorite: Mexican cilantro soup. Start by chopping two fresh bunches of cilantro and boiling them in chicken or vegetable broth. Then, brown two cloves of garlic in olive oil and add to the broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add some optional fresh cream. Serve with homemade croutons.
Hearty lifestyle characterized by the expression of love and care.

As Prof. Carolyn Mair points out, “When you understand the psychology of fashion, you see how every outfit can shape how you feel, how you're seen and how you connect with the world.”

Originating from the rugged cowboys and ranchers of northeastern Mexico, the Cuera Tamaulipeca has evolved into a cultural symbol, worn also for everyday wear and representing northern Mexico’s identity.
The Tamaulipas region, known for its ranchers, features the Cuera, a handcrafted garment with a history spanning over a century.
Originally made from calfskin or deer suede, the Cuera is a jacket with long fringe on the lower part and sleeves, adorned with white engravings, usually flowers. Founded in 1617, Tula is home to the Cuera Tamaulipeca. October 20th is designated as the National Day of the Tamaulipas Cuera in Mexico.
