As a locally and family owned business, Leos Imports strives to provide care and commitment not only toward the San Angelo community and abroad, but also those that we work closely with in Puebla, Mexico. Our highly recognized Puebla Dresses and blouses are aptly named after the community that handcrafts these dresses and blouses with detailed embroidery. Puebla is a remote community nestled between two beautiful mountain ranges. It is also a community where the crucial art of embroidery is learned from a young age and passed down generation to generation. The people of Puebla have learned to harness their talent of meticulous embroidery and make a living off of something they've known how to do all of their lives. Since embroidery is in high demand all over the world, Leos Imports is providing jobs for hundreds of women within Puebla. On a weekly basis the women receive fabric for the dresses and begin assembling them whether it's during their free time, cooking dinner, or even sitting outside chatting with neighbors. With an opportunity for work, it fortifies an independence for women along with making a living for themselves and their families.
So next time you're in the downtown area of San Angelo, pop on by to Leos Imports and see for yourself the intricate embroidery the women of Puebla, Mexico have lovingly poured into our Puebla Dresses and blouses. Support not only your local community, but the beautiful community of Puebla.
