Who is Bea? How would you define yourself?I am a lover of everything fun, musical and unique. I am originally from Mexico but I feel like I could have been French in a past life :). Some of my recent hobbies are discovering new coffee shops with my 2 year old daughter Maxine, going to the beach with her and digging big holes for her to fit in, and beating my husband at dominoes.Cooking is my best way to de-stress, and it is always better with a glass of good red wine, although my favorite drink is mezcal. My favorite food is of course Mexican food and spicy ramen. Selecting and buying for my store is my dream job, I like to call myself “a good design hunter” :).When did you open Maxine? Could you tell us the brief history of your store? What prompted you to launch your own business? My husband Phillip and I opened Maxine in November 2020, so our two Maxines are still babies, but they are growing beautifully. I opened my first shop, called The Good Hunt, in San Miguel de Allende, which was mainly hats and accessories from my favorite places found in Latin America and Europe. Then Phillip and I met and thought it would be really fun to take a millinery course in Mexico City, which led to us launching our hat brand, Creatures of Love. We then moved to California and started doing hat pop-ups quite successfully, so we decided to open Maxine, which perfectly fuses our passion for making hats and curating beautiful pieces from designers and brands that inspire us.
