Sewing change: Southwest Creations Collaborative

At Los Poblanos, we believe that every detail of what we make should reflect care—for our community, our landscape, and the hands that craft each piece. For more than 20 years, we have partnered with Southwest Creations Collaborative (SCC), a remarkable women-led social enterprise based in Albuquerque. The talented team at SCC cuts and sews our lavender eye pillows and lavender tissue covers, ensuring each piece is made with the same intention and integrity that guides our work here on the farm. Over the years, we have collaborated with SCC in a variety of ways, and we are continually inspired by the vision of its founder, Susan Matteucci, who built a model of empowerment and community that continues to shape lives.
