I'm Mauricio, nice to meet you!
Costa Rican arts and crafts broker
I was born and raised in this beautiful country 47 years ago in San Jose, the capital city. I attended elementary school, high school, and college like any other Costa Rican, majoring in Agriculture. Not long ago, I developed a special attraction to craftsmanship and its various techniques and materials. I wanted to delve deeper and learn more about our own art and the talented people who make it their way of life. So stick around with us—you’ll find a wide assortment of products for all occasions.I have personally met these artisans, tested their products and, in most cases, became their customer myself and it's worth it, not only you support your local arts and crafts dealer but also you take home a unique and carefully designed and manufactured specially for you. All of the products listed here are available to purchase, some of them are ready for shipment but some others may require more time, as these are customizable pieces, therefore, they shall be made from scratch. Should you like to acquire some of these pieces, send me an email to fiaca76@gmail.com and I'll make sure you get back to you in a timely manner.
