5 favorites for a Mexican-style return to school
It's hard to think about going back to school when our Instagram is still full of our friends' holiday photos and the sun is shining (strongly) outside... But day after day, the fateful date is approaching and at Mapache, we've decided that going back to school won't be inevitable 🌞
Before you put your beach towels away for good, take the time to grab a notepad and a pencil because we're going to reveal the team's favorites for a Mexican-style back-to-school experience!
Exhibition to see, book to devour, recipe to try... We promise, you won't be bored and our suggestions will even have the nice advantage of extending your summer vacation a little.
Calling all Parisians... From September 15, 2022 to March 5, 2023 , the Palais Galliera (Fashion Museum of the City of Paris) is hosting an exceptional exhibition about the famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. You can discover an intimate portrait of this fascinating personality, thanks to more than 200 objects that belonged to her throughout her life. A rich cultural journey without having to leave Paris, we say yes!
One of the Mapache team's greatest memories in Mexico? The food, of course , more or less spicy depending on everyone's tastes! We loved trying the local dishes and we remember some real culinary gems... Among them, the quesadillas that we dream of reproducing at home! Thanks to this recipe posted online by Free the pickle , it's now possible and even in a gluten-free vegetarian version ;) Enjoy your meal.
It's impossible not to fall for the hand-embroidered cushions from the Legado brand , which shares with us a love of Mexican crafts and a desire to promote them. We particularly like these bucolic motifs crafted by the Otomi community (to learn more about this craft, we invite you to read this article ), which will integrate charmingly and warmly into your interior.
Wondering how to fill the long, rainy Sundays ahead? Say goodbye to screens , curl up in your coziest blanket, and devour this decidedly colorful book! Dive into the heart of authentic Mexico and enjoy losing yourself in the pages of this book published by Taschen . What's in it? Sublime images and a good dose of color therapy, the perfect fall program.
We were about to write that we were saving the best for last, but that would have seemed a bit pretentious on our part ;) In any case, wearing our Medusa Champagne is highly recommended for a successful return to school! Handmade in Mexico using ancestral know-how , this jellyfish-style shoe model will be your fashion ally for the Indian summer. We love its refined braided leather and its elegant style, to be combined with both our blazers and our midi skirts.
We hope that the Mapache team's favorites will soon be yours! Find all our adventures on @mapacheshoes 🌞
