Historia

With an eye for bold colour and a keenness for kitsch she brings wonderfully whimsical objects to use in the home, to decorate, to wear, and to bring sunshine in your life!

“Las Niñas” translates to “The Girls” in Spanish, paying homage to the women that traditionally weave, sew, paint, knit and embroider to make the magial things Zara brings back from her trips.

Zara has visited these villages for 17 years, watching families grow up and taking time to learn about the craftspeople's skills and encouraging traditions to continue. She takes an interest in the villages, donating time and funding to Mayan Families, a not for profit organisation encouraging sustainable growth and support of rural families to maintain traditions by buying their authentic products, giving the family the money they need to look after themselves.
