Among the many handicrafts, products made from palm leaves, called palma, play a very important role and are necessities of life loved by the people.
Please enjoy this event where you will feel as if you are visiting a foreign country.
Tenate de Palma (Palm leaf baskets with dyed and undyed Mixtec patterns)
These beautiful baskets with lids are made by a community that has been mastering the technique of weaving palm leaves for generations. The Mixtec pattern used in the Aztec era is a traditional weaving pattern that is also used on the walls of pyramids and plastic bags sold in Japan.
It takes a lot of time and skill to weave it beautifully, making it a true masterpiece worthy of being called a traditional craft.
The undyed baskets were produced by a community of artists who represent Mexico and promote the beauty of traditional handicrafts to the world. The muted colors make them easy to blend into your home decor.

These market bags are often used by farmers to transport beans and grains and are beloved by locals.
Xtrea is a material made from fibers harvested from agave, the raw material for mezcal and tequila. It is strong and highly elastic, so it can be folded compactly and carried around, and it expands when filled with a lot of things, making it very convenient.
Comino de mesa Bordabo Otomi (Tenango embroidered table runner)
This table runner features tenango embroidery, which uses colorful threads to depict plants and animals from nature, as well as creatures that appear in myths and rituals.
Tenango embroidery is a traditional embroidery technique made by the indigenous Otomi people. It is a piece of Mexican folk art that is created stitch by stitch, taking an incredibly long time to complete.
Huevera de Gallinas (Chicken Egg Basket)
This chicken-motif basket has been carefully crafted by artisans in Oaxaca.
It can hold up to 10 eggs and will add a splash of color to your home decor. It's a unique item that is sure to make a great gift.
Bolsa de Palma (Palm Leaf Basket Bag)
These basket bags are made in Oaxaca, a region of Mexico that is said to have the strongest indigenous influence.
The region where it is produced has an environment where the raw materials grow well, allowing the cultivation of high-quality Parma. Parma has a very long lifespan and continues to grow no matter how many times it is cut, making it an essential material for sustainable manufacturing.
