Milagros – from the Spanish for ‘miracles’ or surprises' – are the small silver or gold-coloured offerings that Mexicans attach to the images of the Virgin Mary or saints as a request or thanks for help.

Milagros works with independent makers and small workshops in Mexico to create quality handmade products that combine traditional techniques with contemporary design. All our products are sourced in Mexico and include: handmade ceramic wall tiles, hand-blown recycled glassware, woven and plastic wire baskets, and folk art. We have travelled extensively throughout Mexico and are constantly sourcing new objects that reflect the bold and exuberant colours of the country and its distinctive culture.

Our shop is found in London’s East End, next to Columbia Road’s famous flower market. We are open on Sundays from 9am to 3pm or by appointment.
