December 15, 2021 Fashion, Trendsetting and Not Feeling Enough with Cadena Collective
Wine: Aldina Vineyards, Chardonnay
BIO:
Cadena is the Spanish word for chain. It is their belief that women are not bound by societal chains or expectations of the roles they should play in the modern age. When women unite like chains, they are stronger, powerful and more resilient.
Cadena also happens to be the street name of the home in Mexico, in which owners, Mabel and Alejandra took their first steps and the home they left at the age of six and eight years old, when their mother immigrated to the United States. Their name is a symbol of how life has changed and how moving from Calle Cadena to the United States has given them a world of opportunities. They want to share that opportunity with women who may feel bound by the expectations their family, friends or society has placed on them. Working with women artisans and sharing their talents is a revolution of love, empowerment and the journey towards self-realization.
