Mariposa’s home may be the world, but ever since our early days — when we’d happily rattle down to Mexico in a shaky truck to bring back recycled glassware made from old Coke bottles — our headquarters have always been on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, thirty miles north of Boston.
When Livia started importing, the first Mariposa warehouse was her parents’ garage. Now we've renovated a yellow 19th century livery stable (we call it "The Barn") in the small, stylish heart of Manchester-by-the-Sea.
Mariposa’s many unique collections are a result of our own innovative designers collaborating with superior artisans worldwide to bring the best of foreign cultures back home — Italian ceramics; European glassware; French cutlery; Mexican glass and aluminum serveware.
We’ve grown gradually from collection to collection, and what allows us to innovate steadily in design and materials is a deep commitment to the artisans themselves.
