We believe every handmade creation carries a story.

Thank you to the Albuquerque Journal | NM news, business, sports, entertainment for sharing the story behind Xol Original and the vision of creating a modern-day trading post where artistry, culture, and community come together. The article highlights our commitment to honoring Indigenous makers, supporting artists and culture bearers, and creating a space where you can connect directly with the people, traditions, and stories behind what you bring into your life.

If you have visited the shop, attended an event, shared a conversation, or supported an artist through Xol Original, you are part of this story too.

We invite you to read the article (link in bio) and continue walking this path with us.

Today the sun reaches its longest arc, and we gather in that light together.

At Xol Original, the Summer Solstice has always meant more than a moment in the sky. It’s a reminder of cycles, of reciprocity, and of what becomes possible when community shows up with open hands.

We’re here today for our Xolstice community gathering. If you’re reading this, you’re invited. Come as you are, bring a dish to share, and add your presence to the table we’re building together. Food, music, conversation, quiet moments in between, it all belongs here.

We’ll be here till 4.

Fashion has always been more than clothing.

It carries stories, honors identity, and connects us to the hands and hearts that create it.

As part of our Grand Opening Weekend, we invite you to join us for a special fashion presentation featuring the work of Alfredo Quiroz and Valentino Romero, Founder and Creative Director of Xol Original. Through contemporary Indigenous design, handcrafted footwear, and wearable art, these collections celebrate creativity, culture, and the enduring beauty of things made with intention.

Whether you come for the artistry, the craftsmanship, or simply to be inspired, we hope you’ll join us in witnessing the power of fashion as a form of storytelling.

After years of dreaming, planning, traveling, and working alongside Indigenous artists and makers, we’re honored to officially celebrate the Grand Opening of Xol Original at Hotel Chaco.

Xol Original is a Native-founded nonprofit cultural arts organization and modern-day trading post dedicated to supporting Indigenous artists, preserving traditional knowledge, and creating meaningful economic opportunities through handmade offerings, art, and storytelling.

Every offering in our shop is made, not manufactured, by artisans whose work carries generations of knowledge, creativity, and care.

Join us June 19-21 for a weekend of art, culture, community, and celebration featuring artisan demonstrations, live painting, fashion, music, and more.

We believe that every purchase is a vote for the kind of world we want to live in, one that honors culture, craftsmanship, and human connection.

Thank you to everyone who has helped bring this vision to life. We can’t wait to welcome you.
