I came here last spring hoping to purchase a Chimayo vest, somewhat of a family tradition here in Northern New Mexico. I came to this shop because of it being open when others were not and I'm glad I did! Mr. Irvin Trujillo showed us his beautiful artwork which is on display throughout the store, measured me, and helped to make sure the design was just what I wanted. My custom vest was completed quickly, was quite affordable, and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Mr. Trujillo!

I bought a beautiful woven purse directly from the weaver and some pretty earrings. This store is affordable and interesting-the weavers weave right there with their big looms!

From jewelry to peppers, this place has it all. Very friendly staff and it's on the way to see the Church at Chimayo. Reasonable prices and huge selection of seasonings. Worth the stop.
