An interview with Giorgio Capirone, owner and manager of <\/span>MeQuiero Boutique<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n Giorgio, what is MeQuiero design?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n “MeQuiero<\/b> is a boutique-style shop catering to both tourists and locals. We sell souvenirs and\/or comfy clothing, like pants and Bermudas made with a particular type of fresh and simple cotton that are specially made for living in a hot and humid climate. They are of 100% Mexican origin and have a colorful design that will inevitably make your mind think back to the lovely streets of our Pueblo Magico, Sayulita. In the future we would like to let our <\/span>MeQuiero<\/b> designs roam and explore the rest of Mexico too, and possibly even abroad outside of Mexico.”<\/span><\/p>\n How did you get interested in ethical and sustainable fashion?<\/b><\/p>\n “To be honest, it wasn’t a particular goal I set for myself. But the moment I discovered the incredible softness of our fabrics and the lovely people that are making these fabrics, I was sold. I started to do more and more research, and I learned a lot about the downside of today’s fast fashion industry, such as the poor conditions people work in, the low salaries, and lack of benefits; this is all very disheartening. I am proud and happy to say that at <\/span>MeQuiero<\/b> we offer a more conscious option to the fashion market of Sayulita and Mexico today.”<\/span><\/p>\n What is the importance of ethical and sustainable fashion for a small town like Sayulita?<\/b><\/p>\n “I believe the importance of ethical and sustainable products is not limited to small towns like Sayulita, but should be a priority for every town on our beautiful planet. The planet is ours to live on, and we should take care of its land, oceans, and inhabitants. Sayulita has always had a vibrant and conscious community, and I therefore believe that Sayulita has the power to make small changes that subsequently will lead to bigger changes.”<\/span><\/p>\n What are some of your favorite items sold at the store?<\/b><\/p>\n “I personally love the diversity of basic t-shirts and light pants. They are extremely comfortable and perfect for lazy indoor mornings. They would also be your best bet for a hot afternoon happy hour at a Sayulita beach or cocktail bar.”<\/span><\/p>\n Sustainable alternatives are often expensive, what about MeQuiero’s cost-quality ratio?<\/b><\/p>\n “We strive to keep the prices affordable for both locals and tourists. I would say in comparison, our prices are medium to low, where the quality of our fabrics are of a high standard.”<\/span><\/p>\n Where can we find MeQuiero?<\/b><\/p>\n
