'Jesus learned to weave from his mother and grandmother, and in 2012 he suggested we form a society together,' recalls Corina. 'At first I wasn't sure but we kept talking about it and two months later, I accepted the proposal and this is why I'm in this field now. We've been working on small projects but we're looking for ways to export our designs. Jesus is in charge of weaving and I take care of the administration, but I'm also learning to design sweaters. Jesus and I make a great team I've learned a lot about the textile arts and I really admire his dedication to this work. We hope to do much more and, with the grace of God, we expect to be able to. We love what we do and are involved in all the details of creating our apparel. Everything you receive from us is made with much love and dedication by two young entrepreneurs who are seeking success. We're giving this project everything we've got.'
