Centuries ago, our ancestors journeyed to this land, carrying with them not just essentials, but the heart of their heritage. Every document, piece of clothing, dish, cooking utensil, and tool they packed into their baúl held memories, traditions, and the promise of a new life.
Our logo is inspired by the baúl, a symbol of resilience, heritage, and the treasures of our culture. The baúl represents more than a vessel for belongings; it embodies the stories, struggles, and triumphs of those who came before us. Every item carefully placed inside was a piece of their identity and hope for the future, carried across oceans and landscapes.
Today, we honor that journey and the legacy of the baúl. It reminds us that our culture’s treasures—its history, values, and traditions—are worth preserving and celebrating in everything we do.
