"There are ideas that you have in your head and you think it is difficult to materialize them. Until a friend tells you, write all those ideas in a notebook. And so it was, one Sunday afternoon when I was alone, I began to write. I love animals and I try to help the homeless, but with cats I feel a special connection, and I love the "doodles" that Iris Fundora, friend and illustrator, leaves me and that I collect. So I sat down with her and I told her about my idea of making accessories related to cats, and creating everything around this, making manual things together with her illustration art.
Little by little something that seemed distant was getting closer. And this is how La Rubia de los Gatos emerged, a small entrepreneurship with crafts around the world of cats. I was discussing it with family and friends, sometimes undertaking costs a lot, betting on something that you don't know if it's going to work, a small investment was made and when the first productions were made people liked it a lot, now La Rubia de los Gatos is emerging from Little by little, with many ideas that are written in the notebook and that little by little we want to carry out. With this project I finally managed to combine my greatest passions, which are fashion and animals. Allowing me to immortalize stories of rescued animals through art and fashion.
I really appreciate the "doodles" of my favorite artist Iris Fundora who is part of this project.
Thank you to everyone who supports and encourages me."
