ABOUT US

Kalesa was created by Sami Barker out of a sincere love of craft and design. It is an eclectic collection of new, handmade, and vintage objects with a special focus on Mexican made goods. Kalesa, which is a traditional horse drawn carriage in the Philippines, is also the name of Sami’s family home in Mexico.

 
Did I actually reach out my arms
toward it, toward paradise falling, like
the fading of the dearest, wildest hope —-
the dark heart of the story that is all
the reason for its telling?
— Mary Oliver, The Chance To Love Everything
