"I come from a family of restaurateurs, but found myself drawn to handicrafts. I decided to create handbags.
Â
"One day, I thought Id design clothing with fabric remnants and apparel I didnt wear anymore. After many attempts, I ended up with a beautiful handbag. Very few people saw it but one of those people was the owner of a shop. She loved it! And she ordered several of this design.
Â
"I was afraid Id fail but, at the same time, I was thrilled and felt hopeful about this opportunity. It was rewarding to know that someone liked my work and that all my effort was worth it.
Â
"As I created other novel and utilitarian designs, I gained experience and improved my technique. I hope to earn the admiration of many more shoppers who appreciate quality work crafted with dedication and love.
Â
"I was born in Costa Rica. Ive liked handicrafts from the time I was a girl and creating handcrafted designs was a dream I had worked toward day by day.
Â
"But art isnt valued much in this country and its been a long struggle to create designs that are unique and stand out from the others. Today, designing and crafting handbags and accessories has become my passion. I want others to know that with perseverance and hard work, you can go far. But with Gods help, you can achieve your dreams of quality and excellence.
Â
"I achieved my dream in 2002, setting up a formal workshop of my own. I had the support of my loved ones and, above all, Gods blessings. He has been my main source of strength from the very beginning. Today, were doing very well and I hope to reach more shoppers than ever, to make my countrys art known around the world.
Â
"When the opportunity arises, you must seize it."
