Mexico Home Collection: Sourced Picks

The Modern Cantina Edition

With high season in Mexico right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about entertaining again — long dinners with friends, weekend cocktails on the terrace, or an easy setup for guests to help themselves.

This bar collection is a great place to start when creating your own modern cantina at home. Each piece is meant to invite conversation and “where did you get this?!” questions from friends. It speaks to many of the materials we see throughout Mexico — travertine, wood, copper, and talavera — without feeling kitschy or “Mexican” themed. It carries the feeling of Mexico woven into a warm, classic, and modern mix that feels timeless and a little bit old-world all at once.

I’ll always put local artisans first — nothing compares to the handmade pottery, textiles, and woodwork made here. But sometimes we need pieces that are durable, affordable, and easy to get delivered. These are the finds I’ve already sifted through — well-reviewed, beautiful, and practical.

1. Acacia Salt and Garnish Trays: I love these for keeping salt, sugar, or sliced citrus organized when you’re rimming margaritas and other cocktails. It’s more stylish that the black plastic version, and the natural wood balances the metal and glass in a bar setup. Plus, they’re easy to wash, stack and tuck away.

2. Copper Bartender Kit: A showpiece that’s actually functional. The engraved copper feels warm and collected, and it’s one of those things that instantly makes your space look styled — even if you mostly pour wine.

3. Stemless Margarita Glasses: A modern twist on the classic margarita shape. They hold a little more cocktail, feel more stable, and have a cleaner profile that fits any style of home. They still have that wide rim for salt or Tajín, but the stemless base makes them perfect for casual entertaining (and less likely to tip over).

4. Hammered Copper Tray: This ties the whole collection together. It’s both serving piece and decor — layer it with your bottles, glasses, or bar tools and you’ve got an instant styled corner that looks intentional.

5. Hand-Painted Talavera Shot Glasses: Each one is a small piece of art — classic talavera hand-painted from Mexico, they bring that authentic touch that balances the modern materials. They’re sturdy, timeless, and always a conversation starter.

6. Travertine Coasters: I love the unique shape of these coasters. A neutral, textural touch that feels luxe but grounded. The stone keeps condensation under control and adds a natural balance to all the copper and glass.

7. Illustrated Cocktail Napkins: A small detail that makes everything feel more intentional. These illustrated napkins add a bit of coastal personality without taking over the look — think understated charm, not themed decor. They’re perfect for layering under a margarita or serving with snacks when you’re hosting.

Little additions such as these bar items help to create a space in your home that feels intentional and curated. They may be small, but All of these pieces have a wow effect — perfect for creating a corner that feels personal and elevated without over-thinking it.
