With the holiday season just around the corner, what better time to indulge in some Christmas shopping for unique gifts while basking in the beauty of Puerto Vallarta? Nestled in the heart of the Romantic Zone, Resorts by Pinnacle offers luxury accommodations within easy reach of an array of fantastic stores, restaurants, beach clubs, and more.
One standout gem in the local shopping scene is the newly opened boutique by renowned designer Erica Maree. A transplant from Portland, Oregon, Erica Black found her muse in Mexico and its vibrant culture. Drawing inspiration from the bustling markets, charming town squares, and quaint rural villages, Erica developed a deep appreciation for indigenous textiles.
These traditional fabrics serve as the foundation for her bohemian chic collection, where Mexican embroidered dresses are transformed into unique hobo bags, and hand-crafted Otomi table runners are reimagined as stunning clutches. Vibrant oilcloth, typically reserved for tablecloths, finds new life in wallets, iPad cases, and cross-body purses. Erica Maree’s creations are a celebration of Mexican heritage, showcasing the country’s rich traditions, boundless creativity, and innate resourcefulness.
To experience this fusion of culture and design firsthand, make your way to the Erica Maree store on Hidalgo 167 in Centro, Puerto Vallarta. The store welcomes visitors from Monday to Friday, between 9am and 5pm. For more information, you can also explore their offerings online at ericamaree.com.
Indulge in a shopping experience like no other and take home a piece of Mexico’s essence with Erica Maree’s exquisite creations.
