Celebrate Cinco de Mayo With Some of Our Favorite Pieces Inspired by Mexico

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, a celebration of our Mexican neighbors’ rich culture, history, and zest for life, we look at the country that gave us Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Luis Barragán to name a few. President Trump might want to erect a wall to divide America and Mexico, but we’d like to to honor the incredible artisans from Mexico and their unique crafts and skills. So here are seven of the best designs to showcase the some of the best Mexico has to offer.

Christian Louboutin Mexicaba

Shoe guru Christian Louboutin has collaborated with Taller Maya on the Mexicaba bag to help the Yucatan Peninsula preserve its unique craft skills. The bag launched on May 4, and 10 percent of the profits from the sales will be donated directly to the foundation, as well as to the artisans who worked on this bag.

Their mission is to revive mestizo traditions through their modern and contemporary designs, which use metals like gold and silver with precious stones.
