If anything distinguishes the beautiful state of Oaxaca from the rest of Mexico, is the creativity of the artisans and the beauty of its handcrafts. Oaxaca is the largest intercultural center in the country and also has the largest ethnic, linguistic and biological diversity in Mexico. It has the rich cultural heritage of its 16 indigenous groups, which makes it a creative and colorful state. Among the most renowned crafts of Oaxaca we find the "Alebrijes", which have achiev...ed worldwide attention as fantastic and colorful creatures from the Zapotec cosmology. These items are made individually by hand out of copal wood, and each one of them is a unique piece. At Merkado, we proudly open our "Alebrijes" collection to promote the work and identity of the artists of the state of Oaxaca, a magical place where color and local pride overflow. Remember that with your purchase, you will be contributing to fair trade and to the direct support of artisans and their families. Visit us at www.merkadoonline.com

Crafts are the mid-point between mass production and art, but with an implicit aesthetic and cultural message. Crafts in Mexico expose a surrealist legacy of cosmovision, the result of the blending of cultures and customs after the arrival of the Spanish. Each region seems to protect a secret about the meaning of life, one that dazzles with its brilliant colors or hypnotic patterns. Crafts are a great example of Mexican richness, not just culturally speaking but also due to the great imagination that characterizes the country; and this is because, independently of their sociocultural context, it is almost impossible to not identify with a particular craft.
