UNIQUE LA: LOLA Y TULA

Out of all the big, bright and bold products we saw at this year's Unique LA, The Otami textile wall from Lola y Tula definitely grabbed my attention. 

I got the chance to talk with the founder about leaving her former high profile career to start this labor of love with art from her home country. The story of Lola y Tyla really resonated with me, as an opportunity to transform traditional crafts into modern homes, extending a family's heritage.

According to the owner, "All pieces at Lola y Tula are hand selected by me, the site being curated to allow those who love decorating a home or their wardrobe with pieces of originality, authenticity, craftsmanship and above all, beauty. These items are more than just products, but precious gifts that tell a story of the hands who made them, that champion different regions of folk art in Mexico and support the indigenous, artistic communities of our neighboring country.

I am thrilled to offer these gorgeous items to those who already share my passion for 'Artesania Mexicana,' and even more excited to help those discovering this style, how easily these decorative pieces can fit into the new modern home. This is what I love best, mixing the old and new, sleek lines with ornate embellishments, bringing worlds together."

The pieces that were displayed definitely brought new life into traditional crafts. The owner has an eye for boldly mixing tradition and playfulness into accessible art that can breath energy into any setting. With Lola Y Tula, she can bring the art of Mexico to homes everywhere.
