At Petra de Luna we work really hard to create a shop with a welcoming, cultured vibe that resonates with wandering souls. Everything you see is handpicked, designed and/or hecho a mano...by hand. We connect with artisans, families and communities during our travels to find, design and create the most unique and gorgeous pieces. Our goal is to represent the strength, kindness and love each culture evokes through their artisan traditions.

 

About The Owner:

My name is Yolanda. I hail from a small-ish town in Washington State; Bellingham. I am what I call Chicana; of Mexican (& European) descent but American born. Petra de Luna was my father's mom; my abuela. I named my business in honor of her because it is my belief that we stand on the shoulders of those before us.

My grandmother was a Mexican woman born at a time filled with racial & female injustices. She raised 10 kids nearly all on her own. My grandmother was taken out of school around 2nd or 3rd grade to pick cotton in the fields. She was nearly illiterate only with the ability to write her name and numbers 1-10. 

Regardless of the many hardships she endured my abuela was a hardworking, loving & very welcoming woman. She cooked for all of her children constantly; even into her older age until arthritis began to take root in her hands. My most treasured & beloved memories were in her home. 

It is with a deep sense of pride and honor I take the time & love to represent her name well in my business. Petra de Luna is my 4th baby. I work hard to create gorgeous, soulful items not only for you & your home, but in memory of my late abuela. Her sacrifices made it all possible. 

Our belief at Petra de Luna: HUMANITY

So what does that entail? Well...we give to humans. Humans we connect with and believe in. 
Our values are to continue developing Petra de Luna Shop in collaboration with Indigenous and Mexican peoples of Mexico. We believe in building community by embracing culture, traditions and honoring them through our business practices.
We donate regularly to organizations supporting the empowerment of women and children. These charities help develop independent businesses and self-sufficiency. 
Every month a percentage of our profits goes to these organizations and people. 
It isn't about being a good business person; it's about being a good human being. No matter what.  That is the legacy of my abuela; Petra de Luna. I don't do this to honor her; I do this because these are the values she instilled in me. 

Organizations we donate to regularly:
Wander Project (environmental fundraising)
