Mezcal gifting + Leather Workshop

This gifting request was for a small private event at the Four Seasons Hotel. At this meeting a tasting of mezcal was held in a very traditional way, with Jicaras, and each Jicara was accompanied by a souvenir bag to take away. After the meeting, they carried out a small activity where the participants chose a leather bookmark and manually engraved their initials.

Artisans

The Jicaras are collected from the famous Morro Tree by Javier Marcial and his family in Pinotepa de Don Luis, Oaxaca. Once they collect the fruit, the pulp is removed from the inside, and they have to wait aprox 5 days until it dries out, then, the hand carve begins; each design is one of a kind that evokes biodiversity and is popularly used for drinking mezcal and other traditional drinks. Javier has been doing this for 17 years, he is proud of his art and his traditions.

The leather bookmarks were made by Enrique Duarte, a local artisan originally from Puerto Vallarta. Sköll Laser Studio is where the magic happens, it was born from the idea of creating unique and different products using natural and recyclable resources as the main material.
