At MID CityBeat, we are launching our Women Entrepreneurs in Merida, Yucatan who are redefining entrepreneurship in Mérida, Yucatán. This week, we’re thrilled to spotlight my good friend Amira Suárez, a talented designer whose handmade handbags are quickly becoming essential accessories for anyone who values sustainable shopping and authentic Mexican style (I’m already a fan—I got mine!).
Amira Suárez Handbags bring together timeless boho-inspired design, high-quality materials, and a commitment to supporting local artisans and women entrepreneurs. Every piece is crafted through a slow fashion process, using premium leather and suede sourced from León, Guanajuato—the heart of Mexico’s leather industry.
León is famous for its leather-making heritage, producing some of the finest materials in Latin America. Skilled artisans there have spent generations perfecting traditional tanning and finishing techniques, resulting in leather that is both durable and beautiful. When you carry one of Amira’s bags, you’re also carrying a piece of this rich Mexican legacy.
Her collection includes small, medium, and large handbags in earthy tones that go with everything. Whether you’re heading to the colorful streets of Centro Histórico in Mérida or enjoying a night out on the beach, these versatile bags are designed to look chic in any season.

✨ The Inspiration Behind the Brand
Amira’s vision started with a passion for 100% Mexican style—accessible, authentic, and crafted to last. Each handbag is created to empower women, support the local economy, and offer sustainable shopping alternatives in Yucatán. Her dream is to expand her brand into handmade jewelry, shoes, and wallets, all designed to complement your lifestyle while celebrating Mexican craftsmanship.
