Amor a la Mexicana: 5 Emerging Mexican Fashion Brands to Love Right Now

Casa Nortes is a beautiful new brand with a big heart and a bigger mission. They work with women of the Rarámuri community in Northern Mexico to create whimsical, timeless designs on a made-to-order basis. The idea of launching the brand began in 2019, but when coronavirus hit, all production shifted to making face masks. "We helped the artisans sell face masks by spreading the word on social media. We then realized this was only a temporary way to help them, so we conceptualized a project to generate a steadier income for them." They even include a "transparency" page on their website, where they list how the earnings are distributed based upon fabrics, materials, and other fees. "It was very important for us to have full transparency with them and the public."

Our pick: Rayenari Top in Wild Flowers ($160)
