VENDOR HIGHLIGHTS

Punto Verde Ceramics: Tijuana native Fernanda Uribe's art and practice stretches across many mediums, but her Greenpoint based project Punto Verde delivers hand sculpted and painted works that are wholly unique. Hand formed and painted by Fernanda Uribe, each piece embraces the liveliness of clay and develops into a unique, organic form.

Hatzumomo: Hatzumomo founder Paulo Manaid is bringing his Filipino heritage to the contemporary design world through the textiles and styles of Hatzumomo. Each piece is made from hand loomed fabrics created by collectives of indigenous Filipino tribes.

Xaman Vintage: Ginger Dominguez' collection of vintage and handmade clothing, Xaman, was born out of a need to share the rich weaving and artisan traditions of the Mayans. After spending a year in Mexico, this season's collection features objects and fabrics from her time in Oaxaca, Guatemala, and Arizona, often bought directly from the artisan, hand stitched and perfect for summer.
