Description
Everything you need to start your altar, in one handmade bag. This Día de Muertos collection comes together in an artisan bag finished with a leather label and filled with pieces made by skilled hands in Oaxaca, curated by Chef Marcela.
Inside you'll find a delicate clay skull, shaped piece by piece, a traditional aromatic sahumerio, two floral candles handmade in Teotitlán del Valle, and two natural clay candle holders.
On the altar, the candles light the way for the ones coming home, the sahumerio perfumes the air the way it has been done for generations, and the skull honors them with a little humor and a lot of love. Set it all up in an evening, or use it as the starting point for an ofrenda that grows every year.
Each piece tells a story of tradition, artistry, and the beauty of handmade Mexican craftsmanship. It is a thoughtful gift for anyone building their first altar, and for the one who has built it every year.
Includes:
Always burn on a heat-safe surface and never leave a flame unattended. Because every piece is made by hand, size, shape, and color vary slightly. That is the point.
REAL INGREDIENTS. REAL DIFFERENCE.
Four pillars that guide everything we make.
We source with intention from Mexico, landrace corn, Colima sea salt, Mexican chiles, blue agave and more. Every ingredient has a place, a story, and a reason for being here.
No seed oils. No artificial preservatives. No unnecessary additives. Just recognizable ingredients made for real cooking, real flavor and everyday use.
Our products are made in small batches to protect flavor, texture and quality. Nothing is rushed, over-processed or stripped of what makes it special.
Matriarca was created to honor the ingredients, techniques and women behind Mexican kitchens. These are pantry staples made with the respect Mexican food has always deserved.
Read the label. You’ll see the difference.
