The Latest: Shop La Casita Boutique

Hey there, Long time...

2020 was crazy, right? The last week has been crazy, right? One cluster fuck after another throughout 2020 has had me down in the dumps. Fresh from several years of living with and recuperating from Lupus, Kidney Disease, Calciphylaxis, Skin Graft Surgeries, Physical Therapy, and Dialysis treatments, I felt defined by my illness. My days were spent at home recuperating or in a hospital/clinic setting recuperating, mostly alone. Couple that with a global pandemic and months of isolation, I knew I needed to do something to change my current standstill in life. 

For months, I brainstormed, designed, created, ruined, failed, succeeded until I felt confident enough to share my created and curated pieces of art. With that, La Casita Boutique was born!

For the last 9 months, I have been hard at work creating a goods and accessories brand that celebrates my island home, St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean as a whole. 

Check it out...

 

Where U.S. Virgin Islands & Puerto Rican heritage meets unique, small-batch, handmade goods and accessories (some of which are vintage & upcycled!) that are overflowing with Caribbean pride.

La Casita Boutique is a small-batch, handmade (and curated) goods & accessories brand that celebrates the Caribbean, more specifically the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Established in 2020 and currently based in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.

I am the owner, designer, maker, and curator of all things La Casita Boutique! I hand craft unique, statement pieces made of any material I can get my hands on. (You will find that I mostly work with polymer clay, resin, beads, wood, fabric, and heavyweight paper, but am open to any creative ways to use any items, especially unconventional, kitschy items.) I also create products that are inspired by and celebrate my ancestral past's connection with tarot and brujeria - magick! 

Browse our extensive collections of jewelry, accessories, and quirky home goods to find the perfect gift for you or a loved one! If you don't find an item you love, don't fret! La Casita Boutique will be releasing new items weekly, so you're bound to find your perfect piece.
