Last weekend, MEY (Mujeres Emprendedoras Yucatán), led by its founder Fernanda Leiva, broke new ground with the first edition of a bazaar set to revolutionize the traditional concept in Mexico. Hosted at the exclusive Japoneza Retreat, owned by Fausto Teran and Andrea Santibañez, the event transformed each hotel room into an elegant Pop-Up Store for over 25 selected brands.
