My name is Mariela. I was born and raised in Sonora, Mexico and I have called the Boston area my home for over two decades. Despite being far away from my country of origin, I have never forgotten my Mexican roots. While traveling in Oaxaca, Mexico, I came upon these beautiful handmade market bags and fell in love with their vibrant colors, intricate designs, and undeniable passion. These bags have given me a renewed sense of life and reminded me of the beauty and artistry that Mexico has to offer. I have heard it said, “you can leave Mexico, but Mexico never leaves you.” This is so true. So come and experience a bit of my country with the purchase of a beautiful, handmade Mariela's Mexico bag.
