ABOUT US
Mario and Maria Elena Villarreal are natives of Mexico. Thirty years ago, they settled in Omaha, Nebraska where they have worked and raised seven children. Their entrepreneur endeavors came as a result of an on-the job injury that disabled Mr. Villarreal. He purchased a dozen pairs of handmade exotic skin boots and started selling door to door. His belief in hard work and dedication paid off when he started a small western store eleven years ago.
Today, they are well known and respected among the Hispanic Community. The Villarreal family strongly believes that quality products and excellent customer service along with affordable prices will keep customers coming back.
Whether it is making handmade exotic skin boots, or handmade pottery and Mexican crafts, the maker is an Artisan.
The pride that is shown in the process of making the pottery is what made the Villarreal family want to bring it back home. What makes their pottery and crafts different is the personal hand selection process that Mr. Villarreal has always used in his business.
The pottery is made by families of artisans. While some members do the mixing of the clay, others do the painting but all have learned the craft from their ancestors.
