Dope Mexico City Brands
We recently traveled to MXCD to check in on a restaurant my partner invested in. The city is larger than NYC + LA + CHI combined, clocking in a whopping 25M residents. And the food, design, art culture is booming as a result of a big majority of these residents under the age of 30. I wanted to highlight these brands partially because it’s really hard to find them online still, but also because they’re absolutely some of the dopest folks on the planet. Keep your eye on them and visit if you can.

Cicatriz, a natural wine bar and all-day cafe. Means Scar for Scarlett the co-owner.
Try all of the greens on the menu. You’ll need it after MXCD street food. Also the Juarez Pie is savory delicious, must-try. Sit in the plaza sipping on funky orange or white wine all-day.
Caralarga. Tapestries, rugs, jewelry made from 100% recovered and recycled raw cotton thread.
Bags, clothing, jewelry and “house jewelry” as artwork.
Found at a cute sustainable boutique shop called Cihuah Store in Roma MXCD.
Artisan and creative hats, ethically made from cruelty-free sheep’s wool and recycled leather.
Trinidad Cuesta, art for your head.
After you’re done shopping, head over to Condesa to our favorite late afternoon spot.
