I stopped by the "Pop Tonalá" exhibition at the Guadalajara Country Club and fell completely in love with the project. Artisans from Tonalá, México decorate fashion items such as "Converse" tennis shoes with the traditional designs, some dating back to centuries ago. The purpose behind the project is to invite the younger generations to continue with this ancient tradition.
If you are interested in purchasing a pair of these collectable "Converse" you can get all the information here. A pair costs around US$260 dollars and takes about 10 days to complete.
I will sure post more and better pictures when I personally meet these amazing artists.
Breathtaking.
