The Story Behind The Hacienda Collection
The Hacienda Collection began in Sonora, Mexico, inside a family hacienda that had remained in the same hands since before the time of Porfirio Diaz. For generations, the family lived and worked on the land, much of their life centered around their live stock and the surrounding landscape. The original household was made up of a mother, father, two daughters and a son. The mother, who came from Mexico City, brought with her an appreciation for French design and decoration that slowly became part of the Hacienda itself. Over time, those influences settled naturally into the home and remained there for decades.
As the family grew through generations, they preserved as much of the Hacienda as they could. Even as the world around it changed, the house remained largely untouch, carrying the marks of daily life rather than reinvention.
Eventually, the surrounding land was sold, leaving only the Hacienda. Years later, the home itself was sold as well, leading to the state sale where we first encountered the pieces that would become our first collection. What drew us in was not perfection, but presence.
The furniture carried years of use, routine, memory and adaptation. Beds, trunks, cupboards, dressers and tables that had quietly remained in the same rooms for decades.
The collection became an exercise in preservation rather than restauration. Each piece is approached individually, working within the original form instead of erasing it. Leather is introduce carefully, shaped and set by hand, one tack at a time, allowing the furniture to evolve while preserving the character it had already earned over time. No piece is ever repeated. Each one carries its own proportions, history, imperfections and presence. Many of the pieces carry the names of members of the family who once lived in the Hacienda, preserving a quiet connection between the objects and the lives they once part of.
The Hacienda Collection is not about returning these objects to the past, it’s about allowing them to continue forward.
