Celebrating Latin American Design at Caravana Americana

Twice a year, Caravana Americana brings together a highly-curated, shoppable assembly of fashion brands, furniture makers and craftspeople for a two-day expo showcasing Latin America’s ?Best in Show.? The collection aims to do more than just move product, though. LAGO, the brand behind the event, created Caravana in hopes of challenging the international perception of Latin American design and to prove the region’s work is ready for the world stage. I was admittedly skeptical when I arrived this year to news the event had moved into a larger exhibit hall than the one it was held in when I attended in 2017. I quickly realized, however, that the old space’s charms were still greatly intact for this spring’s edition. Canvas panels in a stylish grey divided the new location into individual pop-up shops, and a sprinkling of greenery made guests feel like they were wandering through an outdoor mercado (minus the unforgiving Mexican sun). Paired with delightful push carts carrying water and snacks, the atmosphere proved just as inviting as previous years.
