Social responsibiliy

At La Texana we're keen to give back a little of us to the community which is why we went to the community of Kochol, Yucatán, home of our unconditional friend Emiliano to donate some clothes and shoes.

Thank you Emiliano and family for having a great afternoon at your place and thanks to all who donated. It's the little things in life that make a change. 

If you also want to give back a little don't hesitate to contact us. We are willing to organise visits to local communities throughout all the semester.


La Texana goes Fashion

Last Saturday it was all about fashion, lifestyle and culture:

we visited the 7th edition of El Mercadito Bazar - a fashion and lifestyle event with numerous young Mexican designers showing their work.

Welcome to Mercadito Bazar

It varied from fashion, graphic, industrial, illustrational and music works. Our favourites were the individual designed iPhone cases, handbags of all kind of materials (Frida Kahlo printed), jewelry (especially the bracelets and necklaces from Citrina) and the fancy t-shirts from Hipster Glam which were all on affordable prices. The bazar was located at Tequila, one of the most famous clubs in Merida.

Another highlight this day was La Noche Blanca which is held twice a year in the historic centre of Merida. That night the centre of Merida turns into a big hub of locations and events like concerts, circus artists, cinema and theatre and many more.

Our first stop was the fashion show of David Salomon - a Mexican designers, originally from Merida who dressed american actresses like Kate Walsh, Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria and many more. He presented his collection "Fortuna" in front of the Cathedral de Yucatan in the heart of Merida.
