Mecha Méndez draws from the traditions of the Argentinian littoral, the birthplace of its founder and creative director Mercedes, placing a local emblem—the gaucho braid—at center stage.
We believe in the power of braiding. Braiding stories, myths, symbols, and territories. Our purpose is to build community through creations that honor our ancestors and celebrate a unique identity. We recognize the value of what is native as the root of a living culture, always evolving.
We have a deep faith in co-creation as a shared language, a braid in which we all meet. Each piece, each gesture, each collaboration is part of a symbolic weave that connects us beyond words and opens spaces for new ways of inhabiting art and beauty.
For every bag purchased on our website, we plant one native tree in Argentina’s forests. These trees help restore natural habitats, protect biodiversity, and support the fight against climate change.
