The Brands of Fino, Cabo’s Newest Fashion Stop

In Los Cabos, Play by Suzanne Koch

Fino houses couture, resort wear, ready to wear and accessories from an array of international designers. Located in The Shoppes at Palmilla, the cool mix of edgy labels and well established brands makes Fino a must stop shop while in Los Cabos. Owner, Marsha La Tessa, takes you on a visual voyage travelling the globe from New York, Paris, Italy, Nepal, Mexico and more. Her love for interior design, beautiful objects and clothes is evident everywhere you look.

Carla Fernandez: Fino carries hand loomed designs from Fernandez’s collections who gained international recognition for her approach to documenting and preserving the rich textile heritage of Mexico’s indigenous communities by transforming it into abstract contemporary clothing and proving tradition is anything but static.  Carla has developed a successful enterprise where the fashion industry and the hand-made crafts of Mexico become compatible. It consists in paying artisans not only for the hand labor but also for intellectual property of their designs. The brand has been recognized simultaneously by two strengths: being at the forefront of design and a business model for its social vision.
