Mexican art with a story
Mercado Mexicano was founded in 2026 by Parker Ogden with the help of his wife Molly.
"The idea started after we visited Bazar de Lalo near my dad's house in Cuernavaca. The variety, history, and authenticity that you experience going into that store is like nothing we had come across before. The world is moving into cheap reproductions, AI generated art / video, and not even skin deep content. The genuineness and history that oozes from Bazar de Lalo feels like the perfect medicine to all of that. People are looking for real, human made, stories and art, and there is no better place to find that than in the heart of Mexico." - P + M
