LIZ ADAMS X MI GOLONDRINA
It has been such an honor to partner with Liz Adams in creating this collection. Liz is genuine, authentic, and radiates joy in everything she does. When she came to us with butterflies in mind, it felt like a beautiful nod to Mexican culture and the monarch that migrates through Mexico each fall, a symbol of beauty and connection that inspired so much of the design. Thoughtful florals, custom fabrics, and rich colorways come together to create a collection that feels timeless and full of warmth. Photographed at Liz’s family ranch, every detail reflects a sense of place, nostalgia, and the special moments that make this season so meaningful.

ARTISAN COMMUNITY
Aguacatenango is a small community that borders the famous ceramic-producing village of Ametenango del Valle in Chiapas. Aguacatenango is particularly known for its embroidered blouses, which are traditionally worn by the women in the village. The men in Aguacatenango are farmers and spend three-quarters of the year away from the villages to harvest maize. Corn therefore has significant symbolic meaning for the community as the livelihoods of the people depend on it. The women supplement family income while the men are away by embroidering blouses and selling them. The embroidery on the blouses made in Aguacatenango use traditional floral motifs that mirror the flora and fauna of Chiapas.
The artistic painted flowers on this dress are done in Teabo, Yucatan by Armando. Earlier this year in Mérida, Cristina had the pleasure of meeting Armando, a gifted artist whose passion and talent are beautifully reflected in his intricate hand-painted designs. His work perfectly complements Mi Golondrina, bringing new energy and charm to our Celebraciones collection.
CARE
Due to the intricate embroidery work, we recommend wash on delicate settings, hang to dry, iron on low.
