Serpent Style Born In Mexico City

Snakes have captivated cultures for centuries, as evidenced by their prominent place on the Mexican flag. This serpentine symbol represents transformation and is one of history’s most powerful and complex.  Think of the serpent in the Garden of Eden.  Snakes embody both fear and fascination, reflecting life’s dualities. Their ability to shed skin makes them a universal symbol of rebirth, renewal, and spiritual awakening.

Ava’s bracelet beautifully weaves together history, mystique, and sleek style. This unique piece is part of our jewelry collection, handcrafted with Japanese pearls and silver-plated brooch.

​Tradition and Freshness
from the Gulf of Mexico

‘In Campeche, Mexico, jipijapa abanicos—and the iconic Panama style hats—are handwoven using ancestral techniques that preserve this tradition alive.

Jipijapa, a palm-like plant native to the region and other parts of the continent, including Ecuador, serves as the material for these fans.  The artisans renowned for their jipijapa fan-making skills hail from Bécal and the former Santa Cruz Hacienda in Calkiní, Campeche, Mexico.
​
Beyond their practical use, jipijapa fans are unique works of art and cultural heritage, embodying the essence of a cherished heritage and deep family memories.’ —Viviana De la Barca.

What is a bubble skirt?

The distinctive silhouette of the puffball skirt, also known as the bubble skirt, has been a fashion staple since the 1950s. In the 1980s, iconic designers introduced their own versions of the bubble dress. Then the style became synonymous with drama and elegance, featuring a drop waist. Princess Diana’s iconic navy and white bubble skirt ensemble at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival cemented its status as a fashion moment.

Last year’s spring saw another revival of this skirt, known for its voluminous hemline that creates a rounded “bubble” effect. We’re definitely incorporating this trend into our spring-summer items for 2026.
