Cadena Collective is more than a shop to find a beautiful pair of hand crafted earrings or hand embroidered items. We are a movement to help women realize their full potential. We are in the business of helping women see that they are worthy of everything they want. Perhaps it’s earning some money or perhaps it’s creating an entire brand. Either way, Cadena Collective serves as a stepping stone for women to create self-sufficiency because when we validate a woman and help her grow, we create ripples that can have far-reaching effects.
Late last year I traveled to Mexico and was inspired by all the beauty of my home country. I traveled with my sister in hopes of catching a small break from the monotonous life in the United States. We decided to travel to Guadalajara, Mexico City, Guanajuato, Aguascalientes and our hometown in Zacatecas. Beyond escaping our day-to-day routines, we were seeking adventures that would bring us closer to our heritage and connect us with our roots.
Where has time gone?! We are one month into the year and we are still processing 2019 and all the great things that happened. We started off 2019 working with one-woman artisan and a year later we are working with 13 women-owned brands! After carefully reflecting on all of our accomplishments from 2019 here are a few that stood out to us.
