About Moss and Mela

At Moss and Mela, we stitch together a passion for creativity, a love for nature, and a rich tapestry of family heritage. Our founder, Monica Caguin, a Sacramento native with deep roots in Oregon, embarked on this sewing journey to weave these elements into every piece we create.

The Moss Connection

Monica's childhood was marked by the lush green landscapes of Oregon, where moss grew abundantly, adorning trees and rocks like a living, breathing tapestry. It was in this environment that Monica developed a profound appreciation for the beauty and resilience of nature. The evergreen forests, the tranquil rivers, and the vibrant flora instilled in her a deep sense of wonder, which continues to inspire her work today.

Just as moss clings tenaciously to rocks, we at Moss and Mela are committed to crafting enduring, high-quality sewing creations that stand the test of time. Our designs reflect the enduring allure of nature, capturing the essence of the organic world in each meticulously crafted piece.

The Mela Legacy

Monica's love for sewing was nurtured by her beloved grandmother, whose name "Mela" is incorporated into our brand. Mela was a skilled seamstress, passing down her knowledge, creativity, and love for the craft to Monica. With every stitch, Monica honors her grandmother's memory, infusing every piece with the care and dedication that Mela instilled in her.

A Fusion of Heritage

Monica's Mexican heritage plays a significant role in the artistry of Moss and Mela. The vibrancy, warmth, and cultural richness of Mexico are woven into our creations, resulting in unique and captivating designs. Our pieces reflect the colors, textures, and stories of Mexico, celebrating the diversity of cultures and traditions that make us who we are.

Craftsmanship and Creativity

At Moss and Mela, we are dedicated to producing handcrafted, one-of-a-kind items that showcase the melding of nature, heritage, and artistry. Each creation is infused with Monica's passion for sewing, her reverence for nature, and her love for her grandmother, resulting in pieces that are not just products but also pieces of her heart.
