The Embroiderers

Embroidery is a natural art form for the women of Sabinito, a remote village in Sonora, Mexico.

More often than not, after their daily chores of taking care of the children, cooking and cleaning, they can be found sitting with their hoops and needles embroidering flowers and fanciful creatures.

Recognizing the women's artistic talent, Sal del Mar created an opportunity for the women of Sabinito by having them embroider the bags to package the sea salt. The partnership with the village women enables them to stay at home with their children while earning money for their families from the sale of Sal del Mar products.

The hand embroidered bags are made of natural muslin and embroidered with whimsical designs of palm trees, waves and depictions of various creatures from the Sea of Cortez. The women embroiderers add personal artistic embellishments, giving each bag its own charm.

The women embroiderers of Sabinito have become the heartbeat of Sal del Mar.

Our meetings throughout the years have brought us very close. We are more than business partners. Sal del Mar is for these women, all proceeds go to them. Their artistic talent of embroidery is of impeccable quality and design. It is an art form we value as a treasure and hope to preserve. The women and their talent inspires us to continue sharing in the delight of of Sal del Mar.
