About Us

At Cortés&Co., we believe that every piece of leather tells a story. Founded by a passionate and visionary mother-daughter duo, our company is rooted in the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of Costa Rica. Our mission is to create exquisite leather and cord goods that blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, all while celebrating the rich heritage and natural beauty of our homeland.

With our work, we remember our female ancestors teachings going back to the mountains of Heredia and Alajuela in Costa Rica, where our family was founded in between “fincas”. Therefore, everything we create is built with the inspiration of the cycle of life, repurposing organic product and honoring the past of what has been into what would be.

Our Story

The journey of Cortés&Co. began in a small workshop nestled in the lush, tropical hills of Costa Rica. Ana and Laura, inspired by their family’s artisanal skills and the timeless elegance of leather, decided to their joint passion into a business. With a deep respect for the environment and a commitment to sustainability, they set out to create leather goods that are not only beautiful but also eco-friendly and ethically produced.
