MX ATELIER

Originally from Colombia, Paloma Santacruz moved to Cancun for what was supposed to be a temporary period.

While staying at a friend’s house, she met Ricardo at a cheeky Valentine’s Day party that changed both of their lives forever.

The two became inseparable and soon Paloma’s thirst for creation and everything related to crafts was so contagious that she decided to start her own brand and business making macramé products.

Paloma had done everything from weaving to painting, and was busy giving painting workshops when she stumbled upon macramé on a trip to Tulúm.

She was immediately hooked. Back home, she began watching tutorials and experimenting with the craft until she became good enough to start selling her wares and eventually teach them to others as well.

Today, the strength of MxAtelier’s work is in the obsessive attention to detail and mastery of Paloma’s designs, which range from clothing, to decorative objects, to stunning wall-mounted pieces that are true works of art.
