The Martinez Mendoza Family
Coming from the widely-known Zapotec town of Teotitlán del Valle, the Martinez Mendoza family is a combined powerhouse of talented flying shuttle loom weavers. Since 2021, we have had the pleasure of partnering with their daughters Isabel and Vicky, a duo force that can sew and weave any design to life.
