La Sirena, an eclectic shop in Manhattan's East Village, showcases handmade Mexican folk art, owned by Dina Leor, who identifies as Argentine American with a passion for Mexican culture. After falling in love with Mexico as a child, Leor turned her affinity for art and culture into a small business, where she emphasizes the importance of supporting artisans. Despite operating on a tight budget, the shop thrives as a hub of hope and creativity, offering an authentic cultural experience and a personal connection between the creator and consumer.
Everything I'm proud to say is made by another human being which means a lot to me it's important. It's just joy and love and color and creativity and magic.
Have you thought about the people you've been able to support through this shop? I didn't start it because of that I just started buying stuff because it was so gorgeous.
