ABOUT US
SHARING THE DNA OF OUR MEXICAN CULTURE IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO.
The world of VIVA LA CALAVERA floats between meaningful stories, heritage traditions, symbolism, life and death, pop art and a bit of kitsch. This is why our collections are not simply something to possess, it is something to live and be inspired by.
An object that finds its way into our collection is unique. Whether it's made embracing fairly traded practices, whether it tells an amazing story, we sell it because we appreciate its craftsmanship, celebrate its quality and the idea of it makes us happy.
VIVA LA CALAVERA IS A RESOURCE PLACE FOR THE CONSCIOUS AND THE CURIOUS CONSUMER.
DO GOOD. BE COOL.
We turn towards those who have inherited old-age techniques to learn about the symbols and stories of specific traditions.
By sharing these stories with you, we want to take you on a journey to the vibrant Mexican culture. We hope you can laugh and dream the way we do.
By curating handmade collections, we aim to activate the local economy and be a change-maker for endangered cultures.
WE BELIEVE THAT TOGETHER, WE CAN ACHIEVE A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.
