CANDOR ® (Est. 2015) is a handmade textile goods brand that employs only natural fibers and traditional manufacturing techniques to create timeless homeware, decoration products, and relaxed personal accessories. Our workshop is located in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán; a beautiful Pueblo Mágico in central Mexico established as the cultural and commercial meeting point for the riviera towns.

Translating tradition into contemporary interpretations, CANDOR ® creates high-quality textile goods for the free-spirited individual with a simple, yet authentic, lifestyle detached from trends and seasons.

As defined, candor means sincerity, soul purity and simplicity focused on the positive, the non-stereotyped beauty and a free spirit centered in enjoying life.

100% BRUSHED COTTON

Our cotton is proudly 100% Mexican, spooned and dyed in Puebla with dyes that do not fade or shrink.

DESIGN

We try to seize and benefit from the technique’s potencial such as the waiving process, to create highly thought, selected and designed products.

URDIDO

It’s one of the hardest parts of the process, it’s a mathematical and accounting process that determines the length, thickness and design of the fabric.

PEDAL LOOM

Weaving in pedal loom is one of Michoacan’s principal production and artisan processes.

CUT AND SEW

A fundamental part for the quality of our products, there’s nothing like perfect finished seams.

HAND-KNOTTED FINISHES

Some of our products are carefully hand-knotted and finished by craftswomen.

PACKAGING

Slight variations on finishes are celebrated and appreciated, however we are always trying to keep a high quality and consistency product.
