keepsake gifts

Margarita Revilla crafts a set of three decorative boxes shaped like gift bags complete with chain handles. Working in aluminium repoussé, she covers them with wave motifs and places a beautiful blossom in the corner. Felt in the bottom protects your keepsakes, mail, letters or even a small plant. On the other hand, they could make beautiful, decorative and useful gift bags.

Woven by hand on a traditional Zapotec loom in Oaxaca, this elegant Mexican rebozo reveals intricate blue geometric motifs on an ivory background. The generous cotton shawl flaunts long, lush fringe, knotted by hand. A circular ceramic box for keepsakes depicts a dazzling sunflower on the lid.

Finally, a black cord necklace hosts a papier mache pendant depicting a vibrant heart with wings. This gift set vibrates with vivid colour.
