How To Weave An Acapulco Chair
Placed on October 13, 2022As you already know, we are huge fans of the original and authentic Acapulco chair, which is handmade in Mexico, for so many reasons! On some occasions due to extraordinary wear and tear, the chairs may need to be repaired (because life happens!) or some of you who are more handy may attempt to attempt making your own according to your specific dimensions and design. If this is you, here is a video series that we shared on our Instagram to guide you in that process. If you have any questions regarding the process we would be happy to help!
