Our Story

Hi, I’m Heather- founder of Mapachas and mom to twin girls (our name actually means twins in Swahili 🌿).

After years in retail management, I felt called to create something of my own - a boutique that blends style, connection, and intention. That’s how Mapachas was born: a curated collection of pieces that carry meaning, from handbags and jewelry to home goods and gifts.

At Mapachas, we believe in pieces that connect - connecting us to community, to values, and to everyday life. Many of our products are ethically made, locally sourced, or created in small batches by independent makers. Others come from global artisans who share our passion for quality and craft.

While not every single item checks the same box, our goal is always the same: to offer you finds you can feel good about -pieces with stories behind them.

We’re constantly discovering new makers and fresh collections, so there’s always something meaningful (and stylish) to explore. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or for someone you love, we hope you find a piece that connects.

We LOVE new ideas. Please email us with new vendor suggestions or product recommendations.
