Huizache - Arte Vivo de Oaxaca

Huizache - Arte Vivo de Oaxaca is an artist's collective and retail space dedicated to showcasing the diverse craftsmanship of the Oaxaca region. The store features a comprehensive selection of goods, including clothing, jewelry, pottery, textiles, and wood carvings (alebrijes), sourced directly from artisans across various villages. Visitors appreciate the opportunity to purchase authentic, high-quality crafts in a pressure-free environment, with many items labeled with the maker and place of origin.
