Introducing the Revamped La Segunda Estudio

A Celebration of Culture, Community, and Sustainability

Since its founding in 2020, La Segunda Estudio has been a platform for vintage treasures and cultural connection. Today, I am excited to unveil a refreshed vision for La Segunda Estudio—one that stays true to its roots while evolving to inspire even more connection, empowerment, and intentional living.

Honoring Our Roots

La Segunda Estudio has always been a reflection of my pride in my Latinx identity and the rich heritage of Mexican culture. It began as a passion project rooted in curating vintage pieces with stories to tell, inspired by traditions that span generations. As a Latina and a lover of cultural preservation, I’ve made it my mission to create a space that not only uplifts artisans and small businesses but also celebrates the art of craftsmanship.

What’s New?

As La Segunda Estudio grows, so does its purpose. Here’s what you can expect from the revamped platform:

  1. Community-First Lifestyle Hub

    • We’re expanding beyond vintage treasures to include artisan features, sustainable finds, and a community-focused approach that fosters connection and shared experiences.

  2. Empowering Identity Through Books & Resources

    • La Segunda Estudio will now spotlight books and resources that inspire self-discovery, cultural pride, and the empowerment of Latinx and BIPOC communities.

  3. Pop-Up Events with Purpose

    • Hosting events that celebrate culture, traditions, and community, each pop-up is designed to empower small, women-owned businesses by providing a platform to showcase their creations and connect with supportive audiences.

  4. Travel Stories Rooted in Culture

    • My trips to Mexico are a cornerstone of La Segunda Estudio’s story, but the journey doesn’t stop there. I’ll also be sharing experiences from travels to other countries, exploring global markets, meeting artisans from diverse cultures, and discovering how traditions and craftsmanship connect us all.

  5. Hauls and Curations with Intention

    • Whether it’s a vintage find, a handcrafted piece I’ve purchased, or a product I’ve been gifted to review, every item featured has a story that aligns with our mission of sustainability and intentional living.

Supporting Artisans and Small Businesses

La Segunda Estudio is proud to partner with artisans and sustainable brands whose work reflects the values of cultural preservation and intentional living. Through thoughtfully curated content and reviews, I’m excited to share their stories and creations with you. By supporting these incredible creators, you’re helping sustain this platform’s mission.

The Heart of La Segunda Estudio

At its core, La Segunda Estudio remains dedicated to celebrating culture and craftsmanship. This is a place where traditions are honored, small businesses are elevated, and the stories of artisans are shared with love and authenticity. My goal is to inspire you to shop intentionally, connect deeply, and embrace a lifestyle rooted in purpose.

Why Is This Important?

As independent designers, mom-and-pop shops, artists, and creatives face increasing challenges, big-box retailers and online giants like Amazon continue to grow, often at the expense of these smaller businesses. La Segunda Estudio strives to be a voice for these creators, advocating for a world where their unique contributions are not only valued but celebrated.

Join the Journey

This refreshed chapter is about so much more than a new look. It’s about building a community that values sustainability, supports artisans, and empowers identity. I’m excited to bring you along on this journey as we continue to grow together.

Thank you for being part of the La Segunda Estudio family. Here’s to preserving traditions, celebrating culture, and creating meaningful connections, one story at a time.

Note: Occasionally, I may feature products gifted to me for review. For full transparency, it will always be noted whether an item was gifted or purchased with my own money. Rest assured, I only share items and businesses that align with La Segunda Estudio’s mission and values.
