Mimi Robinson Design has partnered with La Red MATAT* to create  collections of home textiles and accessories, inspired by the embroidery traditions of the Hidalgo, Puebla and Chiapas. The collection includes hand-stitched felt wool pillows, spirited embroidered oil cloth accessories, and a playful line of embellished hearts.

“As a designer, I wanted to explore mixing modern materials with traditional embroidery to showcase the remarkable talent of embroiderers. It has been a pleasure working with the La Red MATAT team—their passion, teamwork, and capacity to innovate has made our product development collaboration a success.” —Mimi Robinson
