Our Community of Artisans
Each piece from the Bella Sofia Studio collection is carefully, creatively hand-embroidered by skilled artisans in Oaxaca, Mexico. Their craftsmanship of floral, hand embroidery reflects a tradition that has endured the test of time for more than 200 years.
Each dress or top may require over a month to create. Every design is crafted by initially stamping an intricate patterns onto quality, thoughtfully chosen fabrics. After the ink stamps have been imprinted, dedicated women artisans utilize a hand-held hoop to stretch the fabrics in preparation to embroider unique designs using beautifully colored threads. This process results in one-of-a-kind pieces of handmade art, unlike anything you will find outside of the community of Oaxaca.
The Bella Sofia Studio team is grateful for the chance to empower these women to earn incomes for their families through their artistry, and we rejoice in the opportunity to do so to the glory of God.
