Mexican Artisan Meets Modern Style

Origin Mexico

After meeting the owner of Origin Mexico, Yazmin, months ago - I was immediately drawn to her stunning, custom artisan clothing. After knowing her longer I also became in awe of her work ethic. In the clothing industry you sink or swim. Yazmin has found a way to swim, even through the choppy waters of the pandemic. 

"Growing up in Mexico, I observed how my family worked so diligently to create a better future for the next generation." 

Yazmin is hands-on in the design process, often making trips to Mexico. The hand embroidery technique takes approximately 24-26 hours for one dress to be completed, leaving the customer with a new found appreciation of their unique garment.

"The heart behind what I do revolves around the importance of family and being present for them." Yazmin echos that in her business model. She currently runs her business out of her home in Headwaters. In turn, the handcrafted garments are made in the homes of the artisans, creating an opportunity for them to be close to their children while they work.
