Being from LA and living in NYC I wanted to have a home that reflected the wonderful designs of…read moreMexico...with a more global sensibility. Once we found Marquesa de Mancera we didn't shop anywhere else. THE BEST!!!

So months ago, while browsing photos from Guanajuato, I found a picture on Instagram of a pair of…read moreshoes and I wanted them -- nah, NEEDED THEM. I put one item on my "Must Do in Guanajuato" list: find those shoes and buy them. Thanks to Yelp, I was pointed in the right direction once we arrived in GTO months later. We made the trek down to the store and I crossed my fingers that they had the shoes I wanted. Not only did they have the ones I wanted, they also had several other pairs I wanted as well. However, sadly, I'm a tall girl which means I have much bigger feet than the average Mexican woman. Luckily the pair of shoes I'd been on a quest to find came in a maximum size that fit my monster feet (size 9, which fit my size 9.5-10 feets). To make it even better, they only cost about $13 USD for a beautiful pair of genuine leather woven flats. I tried to browse for more shoes, but only a few went up to size 9 so I was SOL on getting any other pairs. Oh well. I got what I came for and I couldn't have been happier. Fairy tales do come true, my friends!
