A New L-Atitude

Global shopping destination L-Atitude has taken its customers from Bali to Bogota, from Milan to Mumbai. The site’s worldly editors pull unique items from the coolest markets and most talented local craftsmen—the kind of statement pieces you’d pick up if you were there (no cheesy trinkets)—and deliver them on the site, haggle-free.

Last night, the online retailer celebrated its latest destination: bringing the best of Mexico City to its customers, no passport required.

And the only thing better than taking one of these pieces home is knowing that ten percent of all proceeds from the collection go to benefit Project Paz, a charity which works to promote peace in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
