This weekend marks thirty years of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Here at Milagros, we’d like to take this opportunity to express our virulent disgust at Trump’s wall along the U.S. Mexico border. We believe an open world is a healthy one, and are well aware of the desperation that causes people to make the perilous journey to the United States, uprooting themselves from their communities and often leaving loved ones behind. One of our foremost aims as a business is to work with artists and craftspeople so as to help them make a living, so that they do not feel pushed to make this daunting decision. Mexico holds a dear place in our hearts, and we want to bring people its aesthetics and traditions. We’re always happy to answer your questions about where something is made and who by.
And in the meantime, we hope that this weekend you raise a glass to civil resistance against harmful regimes. May you help one another to live with dignity, and may the spirit that brought the Wall down live on. Salud!
