Three countries, one thread
Lourdes — Lulu to everyone who loves her — learned to crochet as a girl in Cuba, where a skein of yarn was worth more than gold and nothing ever went to waste.
In México she turned the craft into a company, teaching a small circle of artisans that a toy stitched by hand carries something a factory can never copy.
Today she works from Boston, near her daughter and grandkids — the first testers of every new design. Five artisans, two languages, one rule: made with love, or not at all.
