¨I came to Tulum looking for inspiration. This has always been the engine of my life and of everything I do. Without experiences, people and places that inspire me, I cannot be happy, and definitely arriving in Mexico has been my greatest source of inspiration in life.”
– Noelia Pretini, Sustainable Fashion Entrepreneur.
La Tiendita is the brainchild of friends and fellow expats Francesca Durante and Noelia Pretini, who found each other in the Caribbean and fell in love with magical Tulum Town. Having stumbled upon La Tiendita on a trip to Tulum, we knew the neutral aesthetic, consciously handwoven treasures and sustainable values were a perfect fit for The Drift. We caught up with Francesca and Noelia to learn more about why it’s important to them to supportMexico’sartisans, where they find creative inspiration and more.
Located on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Tulum is an oasis of white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and exotic jungle landscape, making it a fan favourite for tropical getaways.
