Our Story
We are sisters. We are Mexicanas. We are sustainability. We are …
We are Aidee and Mónica, the co-founders of VOLVERde. We are two of five badass, chingona sisters and daughters of Mexican immigrants. Though we were raised in the Chicagoland area, we grew up making regular trips to Mexico. There, we saw first-hand how intertwined our family’s fate is with nature.
Our family in northern Mexico was constantly struggling with water shortages due to industrial pollution of freshwater sources. We had to take quick, cold showers to leave enough water for others. Our family in southern Mexico comes from a remote village with no municipal trash collection, and every home was responsible for discarding its own trash, most of which was composted. It was during these trips that we learned about closed-loop packaging as we were sent by our parents to return empty soda cans to the corner store. We didn’t know it at the time, but these experiences planted a seed inside us.
Back in the US, we grew up opening the butter cookie tin and finding needles and thread. We grew up opening the sour cream container and finding salsa. We grew up instinctively putting away plastic bags after unpacking groceries and using them later as garbage can liners. Like many in our community, we were taught to repurpose and reuse items out of necessity and respect. We didn’t call it “sustainability” or “zero waste” – it’s just what we did and how we lived.
What started as a search for better everyday products has evolved into something deeper: a space to honor Mexican craftsmanship and the beauty of a thoughtfully made home.
