About Us
Who We Are: Our Pride in Pátzcuaro and Sustainable Commitment
At Mansión Iturbe Artisans Collection, we are driven by the deep pride we feel for our land. We are an initiative stemming from the legacy of Hotel Mansión Iturbe and Restaurante Doña Paca, landmarks with over 55 years of history in the emblematic Vasco de Quiroga Plaza in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán.
Under conscious female leadership, we share the prestige of our home through an ethical platform that connects the talent of the region's indigenous peoples with a global market seeking pieces with soul and purpose.
Our Work: Dignity and Deep Roots in Our Culture
We seek to ensure that Michoacán's artisanal mastery is recognized and valued appropriately. Our work is based on respect for those who keep our heritage alive:
Gender Equality (SDG 5): We empower Michoacán's female artisans, recognizing their role as guardians of technique and a fundamental pillar of the family economy.
Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8): We believe in a Michoacán where artists thrive in their own land. We promote fair incomes that strengthen local identity and offer a solid future without the need for migration.
Preservation of Tradition: We value ancestral manual processes, protecting the cultural heritage of Pátzcuaro and its surroundings against mass production.
Sustainability: Inspired by Michoacán's Nature
The same pride we feel for our region motivates us to protect it. We apply circular economy principles to ensure that the beauty of our pieces coexists in harmony with the environment:
Respect for Local Resources: We prioritize natural fibers and artisanal processes that conserve water and energy in our area.
Biodiversity Care: Our work is linked to the preservation of Michoacán's lakes and forests, promoting responsible sourcing of raw materials.
Responsible production and consumption (SDG 12): We offer timeless quality that honors our history, using eco-friendly packaging (biodegradable or recyclable) to reduce our environmental footprint.
A Model Strengthened by Learning
At Mansión Iturbe, we work to ensure that tradition and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. Our management has been strengthened through the Empresarias Ecolíder program, an initiative of the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ) and the CCME Nacional, with the support of the Ministry of Economy.
This training drives us to work taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda. Thus, we consolidate social and environmental traceability with which we seek to contribute to the green business ecosystem in Mexico and collaborate with international organizations and companies.
Our collection reflects our love for Michoacán in every detail. By choosing us, you are not just acquiring a piece of craftsmanship; you become part of a collective effort that protects our land and dignifies our history.
