Mexchic's About page explains best: "The name Mexchic is a play on the Nahuatl word for the Aztec Peoples, ‘Mexicas’ pronounced ‘me-shi-cas’. Mexchic works with Mexican artisans who are masters of a variety of traditional, centuries old techniques. We also at times modernize the design of each craft, attracting a new appreciation for the cultural riches of Mexico."
