The Face of Handmade Mexican Imports
Jo Ella and daughters
In Windsor Park in an unassuming storage attaché is a brightly colored shop filled with tops, dresses, pillows, linens, and all manner of intricately embroidered household items. Stepping into the space is a bit like taking a trip into a mercadillo where conversation flows, and color and texture line every surface. That’s because all the merchandise is directly sourced from Mexican artisans by the shop’s three owners.
Mary Katherine and Kelly Jo – who are sisters – and their mother Jo Ella run the business which was a serendipitous endeavor built after friends and family continually requested that the trio bring back handmade clothing and artwork from their frequent trips to Mexico. Today, they inhabit a small shop on Cameron Road where they spend their time acquainting Austinites with the different regions of Mexico through their wares.
In addition to beautiful objects, by offering an education along with their handmade goods, this enterprising family hopes to support Mexican artisans. St. Beatrice hours are not yet standard so call before stopping by.
