Keiko Furoshiki x MexiMexi: Pairing the beauty of Japan and Mexico
We are thrilled to announce a special collaboration between MexiMexi and Keiko Furoshiki, bringing together the vibrant traditions of Mexican craftsmanship and Japanese elegance in an exclusive pairing of our beloved products.
This collaboration features 19 one-of-a-kind MexiMexi bags hand made in Jalisco from woven recycled plastic, each paired with one of four Keiko Furoshiki print designs.
MexiMexi and Keiko Furoshiki bring together their shared passion for art, culture, and sustainability. For a limited time, you can purchase a MexiMexi bag paired with a Keiko Furoshiki wrap from the Garden Collection. The colors of each bag are chosen by Laura from MexiMexi and the pairings have been hand-chosen by Keiko, ensuring a harmonious blend of colors and patterns that beautifully complement each other. The Garden Collection features four exclusive prints, each inspired by the seasonal beauty and cultural richness of Japan.
About MexiMexi

Laura's journey began in Mexico, where she grew up surrounded by the vibrant colors and textures of colonial towns, with their cobblestone streets, charming gardens, and artisanal crafts. Her love for handmade goods was nurtured by the warmth and authenticity of Mexican artistry, which she now channels into each MexiMexi bag. Based in Austin, Texas, Laura brings a blend of Mexican tradition and modern design to create bags that resonate with the heart and soul of those who carry them.
