The story behind Casa Paz
Hi there, welcome to our shop! Thank you for stopping by, we're happy to see you here. This is our small Mexican family business.
Here you will find selected products to decorate your home, plan your Mexican Fiesta, wear some authentic handmade clothing, or buy wholesale for gifts, party favors or even start your own business.
We're Denisse & Luis, a couple of siblings who in 2019 decided to open this small Mexican business named Casa Paz, in honor of our family last name. Along this journey, we never imagined this would lead us to meet such beautiful and talented artisans, who during all these years have taught us the value of their work and the importance of keeping it alive.For this reason, we want to introduce you to each artisan and the products they make.
All the items in our shop are handmade with love and shipped from Oaxaca, Mexico to your home. We personally select them to ensure the highest quality and customer satisfaction. Remember that most of our products are made to order, which makes them even more special! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. We'll be happy to help.
With all our love, Casa Paz Team 🤍

Ángela Mendoza
All of our Jalieza textiles and table runners wouldn't be possible without Ángela's work. The whole Jalieza community is known for creating these backstrap woven crafts, but with Ángela, we have a great connection and we always try to create new combinations of colors or figures.

Beeswax candles are traditional to this region of Oaxaca. They are handmade using wooden molds to create the shapes of shells and give life to the classic flowers and animals that decorate these candles. They are traditionally used for weddings or engagements in Teotitlan, but in recent years, they have been used to decorate entire homes.
