The Fire Horse 🔥

Still not getting over the fact that I presented this pair to the Hermés team. I think I will be posting this pair until the end of the year because I love them! I'm having a little photoshoot session with them today as well, so more photos will be coming to your doom scrolling.

And in case you didn't know, these are handmade by me with seed beads, pyrite stones, and beautiful Baltic amber cabochons.

Available now only at Moon & Milk ✨

The holidays are fast approaching and what better gift than the gift of creation. I personally prefer handmade gifts, especially if a loved one took the time to make something for me! Everyone has super busy lives so knowing that someone took some time off and made something really makes the gift unforgettable.

You can learn how to bead gorgeous earrings right in time for the holidays or gift someone a kit or a class. Your choice ❤️.

Eight years ago I started this adventure called Moon & Milk. And I'm still trying to process the fact that I was sitting in a room with the Hermes team, the brand I have been admiring and emulating since the beginning.

As a daughter of immigrants and bootstrapping this baby all by myself, I had no doubt that I belonged there. No imposter syndrome here 😎.

I learned many things during the convening especially how important it is to stay true to my values. Empowering and recognizing women and economic justice for Mexican artisans.

I know one day I'll be an aspirational brand just like Hermès and I'm just getting started. An artisan school, a gorgeous studio in Oaxaca, a store in LA, and who knows what other wonderful things life has stored for me.

If you have worn a pair, you're part of this. Thank you.

I still cannot get over NYC🗽. I'm moving there 😎.

I had a very short stay in NYC, nevertheless I learned so much and I enjoyed every second of it!

Now I'm in Oaxaca, so your feed will be more colorful and in Spanish in the next coming days. I'm working on my new collection and it's going to be filled with gemstones and lots of blue hues. I'm still trying to get the final feel of it so I can start designing each pair. I will keep walking and wandering around the streets of Oaxaca until I get my eureka moment.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Last week I was in New York City for Nest's American Craft Convening!

It was truly amazing getting to know makers and creatives from across the US, and learning best practices in client relationships, e-commerce, and visual merchandising from the experts at Hermès. Hermès has been the brand I've looked up to and tried to emulate since the beginning of this crazy adventure I call Moon & Milk. The way they value craftsmanship, creativity, and independence, along with their artisan schools in France, is what turned me into an admirer of this aspirational brand.

Thank you, Nest, for this opportunity to learn how to grow Moon & Milk without losing its quality or its mission to celebrate women around the world.
And of course, thank you to all my beautiful clients for supporting me and sliding into my DMs with words of encouragement. I appreciate you so much 🥹🥰.

Swipe right to see the final look of the pair of earrings I made for the Hermés team 😎.

The Horse Fire of Hermès.

I made this one of a kind pair as a tribute to the design house I've looked up to since the day I started Moon & Milk. Hermès began in 1837 as a harness maker for horses, and 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse 🔥🐴.

So I made her a horse on fire: amber and gold running through midnight blue, falling from a brass sun. It actually has Baltic amber cabochons not seen on the photos, I will show you guys this week the final look.

Last week l, I asked you to choose between midnight blue and brown, and some of you suggested both, so it sparked a new idea in me.

This week I'm in New York City for the American Craft Convening, hosted by Nest with Hermès. This pair is handmade by me to present it at the Convening.

Next week I'm showing my earrings to the Hermès team, and I need your help choosing the color!

I was selected for the American Craft Convening in New York City, hosted by Nest with Hermès. Since the day I started Moon & Milk, Hermès has been the brand I've looked up to for their craftsmanship and their belief that you cannot mass-produce quality. It's the same belief behind every pair I make. And let's not get started with their artisan schools.

So I'm making a one-of-a-kind pair to bring with me for the event.

Midnight blue or brown? Vote in the comments. The winning color goes to New York, and I'll show you every step of making it.

I have to say, right now I'm really feeling the midnight blue 💙.

What color should I choose?
