Dominga is outbound, stunning, and complete of energy. She likes long discussions and sundowns; she speaks her mind and does not care who attempts to shush her; she is courageous and enthusiastic and yet, at the very same time, she takes pleasure in peaceful moonlit nights. She might seem like the female lead of a Pedro Almodóvar movie however Dominga is, it ends up, the name that designers Maye Ruiz and Daniel Valero offered to their house in San Miguel de Allende, the popular colonial-era city to the north of Mexico City.
On a narrow cobblestone street in the center of San Miguel, Dominga is where a few of the most amazing– and vibrant– style tasks in Mexico are developed today.

It has actually shown to be a smart choice. The silence and peace that identifies their house permits their creativities to operate in overdrive with no disruptions.

In the early mornings, Maye operates at house accompanied by Quesadilla (her Chihuahua), whom she strolls a number of times a day, discovering motivation while checking out the streets and surprise corners of town. On the other hand, Daniel invests his days in his studio– on the borders of San Miguel– or in the workshops of craftsmens. At the end of the day, they reunite and continue to evaluate their imagination and experiment, however in the kitchen area.
