CAFE SANTO X EL CREATIVO
MOTHER'S DAY GIFT FOR A GOOD CAUSE
Beloved as the best coffee bar in the Fashion District, Cafe Santo is known for their artisan-crafted coffee drinks made with beans that are micro-roasted in DTLA by Post-Era Roasters.
They’ve collaborated with El Creativo (the designer behind CMC’s floral art installations) on a great gift idea for cool, coffee-loving mamas:
A fresh, elevated floral bouquet delivered in a hand-screened, oversized 100% cotton tote bag with with an art bag of Cafe Santo’s premium coffee, featuring original illustrations by Oaxacan artist Mariana Rodriguez Fernandez.
Florals are also available in glass containers, wrapped, or without coffee.
