Our journey began in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, when we opened our very first store after years of traveling throughout Mexico, connecting with local artisans and falling in love with their craft. As we immersed ourselves in Mexicoâs rich art and culture, we felt an undeniable pull to share that beauty and bring it into peopleâs homes. And so, Casa Bonita was born.
In 1998, we opened the doors to our first shop, filling the quaint 400 ft² space with some of our favorite finds from Oaxaca, Guanajuato, and Jalisco. Among them were traditional âbarro negroâ from San Bartolo Coyotepec, vibrant handpainted mayĂłlica vases, and the popular circle of friends candle holders.
We poured everything into that space, raising our young daughter there as Casa Bonita began to take shape.
Two years later, we moved into a larger space just a few streets from our original shop, allowing us to expand our collection.
We incorporated wooden furniture crafted by hand with beautiful carvings and metalwork, romantic lighting made of hand-blown glass and natural onyx stone, and an even broader selection of elegant outdoor pottery.Â
In 2008, we opened our Los Cabos showroom. Nestled in the quiet neighborhood of El Tule, our store sits within the Glass Factory Plaza, just off the main highway between Cabo San Lucas and San JosĂŠ del Cabo.
Here, we expanded our collection to meet the growing needs of our customers within a 14,000-square-foot showroom, blending the handcrafted artistry of Mexican furniture and decor with beloved international brands like La-Z-Boy, Sunset West, and Ratanaâoffering everything from sofas and outdoor patio sets to rugs, mattresses, and more.
Since 2017, the Casa Bonita plaza in Los Cabos has expanded to include textiles and linensâluxury bedding, towels, table linens, decorative pillowsâas well as clothing in natural fibers like cotton and linen.
The experience continues at Chalala, our in-house coffee bar, with organic coffee from Chiapas and freshly baked pastries served in our shaded courtyard.
For over 25 yearsâand with the support of our incredible team and lasting relationships with some of our very first customers and suppliersâweâve had the joy of helping transform thousands of homes while sharing the beauty and richness of Mexican design.
We invite you to visit our stores and experience the collection in person. Thank you for being part of our journeyâweâre so glad youâre here.
