About Xula Handmade
RECONNECTING BACK WITH MY ROOTS.
How it started...
As a first generation Mexican-American, I was always brought up to honor my heritage and keep traditions going, even if I was far away from Mexico.
Living in Mexico as a teenager really opened up my eyes to the rich and exciting culture of Mexico. I fell in love - hard.
So naturally, I knew that whenever I decided to start my journey as a #latinaboss, I wanted to create opportunities for artisan women and reconnect back with my Mexican roots.
In 2020, I visited several Mexican textile markets in Chiapas, filled with fun, artisanal textile accessories and POOF. The idea of Xula Handmade was born!

MEANING BEHIND THE NAME
What does Xula mean?

Every piece is carefully curated and is uniquely and beautifully handmade with love by artisan women in Mexico.
