Introducing the Mexican Craft Collective!

Welcome to the Mexican Craft Collective!

2020 – the year of the lockdown, the obligatory face masks, curfews. For many, a year to forget. For a group of Mexican Women, the lockdown became the start of something amazing.

The Mexican Craft Collective was created in the summer of 2020 when a group of Mexican women living in the UK (crafters, makers, shakers and movers) united by their love and pride for Mexican culture teamed up to showcase their talent to the world.

From newbies to experts, from artists to chefs, businesswomen, tourism experts, bakers and bow makers, the Mexican Craft Collective looks to spread our knowledge, traditions and art to those who look to learn, taste or own a little (or a lot!) of Mexico. 

Our talent comes from a broad spectrum of expertise and regions amalgamated in a rich and powerful group of individuals with their own take on Mexican heritage as well as an independent way of expressing their own flair whilst bringing the best of Mexican culture to you.

We invite you to explore our list of Mexican Craft Collective businesses and services. You’re sure to find something to suit your needs.
