Who We Are.
Maison Alvarado is a brand that was born out of the designer's own maison in Austin Tx, or more specifically the garage within it. Designer and owner Elizabeth, began her journey as an artisan in the leatherwork trade in 2020 and after four years has finally taken the leap to begin creating designs for the maximalist chic women of the planet.
A brand born from childhood dreams and longstanding values that Elizabeth holds dear, have turned once personal global travels and world explorations into connections she would one day use to source high quality leather that provides beauty, quality, and durability, built by artisans globally whom help us create the handbags you love.
A privilege really to be able to create beautiful things for beautiful people while engaging in fair trade and livable wages.
What We Believe.
Maison Alvarado is a brand that stands firmly in the belief that all work deserves equitable pay with dignity. As such, we aim to support POC and female-centric artisan cooperatives and manufacturers that aim to help provide work that is employee-centric, and with equitable pay such as that we ourselves are not contributing in worker exploitation of any kind ,but rather work to create cute products in a world we can all enjoy with no harm to each other.
Our Story.
Maison Alvarado is the brain child of designer Elizabeth Alvarado. A South Texas native, Elizabeth grew of extremely humble beginnings admiring the artistful designs in the pages of old magazines, but it wasn’t until a self discovery journey that she ventured into old loves, leading her to rekindle her love affair with fashion.
Searching for a style of her own she took it upon herself to travel the world garnering inspiration, and creating clothing and handbags that pay homage to classic silhouettes while also answering to her maximalist tendencies.
"At fifteen it was just me, my dreams, and the purse that kept me all together. Maybe this whole brand started in an attempt to recapture that feeling of leather stitched confidence one more time, one handbag at a time."
