In 2010, the founders of Recreo San Miguel – Lisa and Michael Coleman, who had recently moved to San Miguel – happened upon a book that described these two aspects of San Miguel’s history. They made a simple creative connection with the idea of re-creating the serape in fine fabrics and a contemporary design aesthetic.
"And thus, Recreo San Miguel was born, marrying these two disparate aspects of Latin American heritage (serapes and elegant fabrics) and wrapping them in a bit of high fashion. In a sense, therefore, one could say that Recreo San Miguel sprang – literally and figuratively – from the pages of history."
