I just love LAMA. It is seriously one of my favorite indie boutiques to browse. LAMA, which stands for Latin American in the Modern Age, is run by Christine Martinez whose goal is to help shoppers discover that Latin America is more than salsa and fiestas, coffee beans and bananas, sombreros and panama hats. Work from both artists & designers from Latin America as well as from American artists inspired by Latin design is featured. From jewelry to home decor, art to textiles, ceramics to paper goods, Christine curates her shop with a practiced eye for choosing just the loveliest & most perfect things.Â
If you are a regular reader, you know I’ve featured LAMA before on Indie Fixx…as well as Christine’s home, which shows off her own amazing personal style.
You are in luck today for sure, since you could win a $50 gift certificate for LAMA.
