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!
