The Heart Behind Flor De Hilo

At Flor de Hilo, I am driven by a deep desire to promote the integrity and preservation of generational cultural traditions. My passion lies in the beauty and craftsmanship of handcrafted textiles, which serve as a testament to the rich heritage of the artisans I collaborate with. The mission behind Flor De Hilo is to not only provide our customers with high-quality, ethically sourced clothing and home decor, but also to educate and inspire. I believe that sharing the stories behind each piece, fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation for the cultural significance of these textiles. I am committed to supporting artisan families through ethical practices like sourcing every piece I bring you directly from artisans. By shopping with us, you are not only investing in a sustainable handmade treasure, but also in the livelihoods of the artisans who create them.

My Story

As the daughter of immigrants and first generation Mexican American, with over a decade of experience working in the non-profit sector with displaced children from Central and South America in the US, my passion for preserving family traditions led to the creation of Flor de Hilo in 2020. Our store specializes in selling unique and handcrafted clothing items that showcase the rich cultural heritage of our artisans.

When you shop at Flor de Hilo, you not only get a beautiful and unique piece of clothing, but you also become part of a larger movement. By supporting our store, you are contributing to the preservation of family traditions and the livelihood of artisan families. Your purchase has a direct impact on their lives, allowing them to continue their craft and pass it down to future generations.

Thank you for joining us on this journey of cultural preservation and empowerment. Together, we can make a difference and create a world where traditions thrive and artisans are valued.
