History of the Perchero
In Mexican hospitality, percheros symbolise the very highest level of service.
​According to Mexican superstition, placing a handbag on the floor is believed to bring bad luck.
​
Since the 1950s, freestanding percheros have been a hallmark of Mexican restaurants and hotels.
​
Stylish and practical, percheros (or hand perches) used for guests' handbags, umbrellas and jackets quickly became a symbol of attentiveness and care.
​​
By the 1980s, they were in all types of eateries, from cozy fondas to upscale restaurants, evolving from handcrafted iron and wood, to sleeker, more modern materials.
​
Before even placing their order, guests often ask for a perchero to hang personal items!
