KUERO is a brand with the purpose of creating unique, exclusive designer handbags made with the finest leather available in Nicaragua with the highest international quality standards.

However, the designer herself has been spotted sporting tasseled earrings and collar necklaces, one of which was featured at a charity event in Nicaragua - and another worn by the designer herself at the Vicente Castellon SS12 show.

Designs by Ana Alexandra Velazquez and the use of the finest artisan leather into a quality handcrafted product has positioned the KUERO brand as unique. KUERO contributes to the community by providing employment and creating a new workforce of skilled qualified artisans in our country. Synonymous with confidence, style, and uniqueness, KUERO handbags are designed with the belief that beauty comes from details such as texture, color, and shape.

Side Note:

It's pretty amazing how art, music, design, and fashion all wrap into one or in this case, end up at the same event.

Fashion Stylist and Boutique Owner, Mariu Lacayo's mother - Mariu F. de Lacayo was the former manager of Ponte Vecchio and has been a noted artist and fashionista.

  Maria Reneé Perez's son is sneaker-holic, DJ Killa Ka5 - who's also gifted in graffiti art.

Designer, Vicente Castellon was also spotted at the event and is also highly-recognized by his drawing skills from his fellow peers. In fact, Castellon hails from a family of artists as is designer, Shantall Lacayo. Vicente's father is a fountain pen drawer and Shantall's father is a well-known artist, Julio Quintero and her mother, Lauren Lacayo runs her own art gallery, Génesis.

 

My mother and award-winning abstract artist, Alicia Castrillo is definitely a risk-taker and loves color. Therefore, I've been trying to convince her to pull off some bold color-blocking and she did..raspberry red and arctic blue.

Did we inherit the artsy fashionista gene?

Event: NINI Fashion Style at Ponte Vecchio

Last night, I attended the NINI Fashion Style event at Boutique Ponte Vecchio for a quick bit. I was there so fast I didn't even touch the champagne (I know, I can't believe it myself but hey I had a huge Thanksgiving dinner waiting for me at home) - You may remember a while ago, I did a little write up on 3 Emerging Nicaraguan designers - one of which was Norma Gomez of NINI and since then I've been following her every move everyday on her fan page and I've already seen some pieces but once I was at Ponte Vecchio - it was a whole different experience. They were all nicely merchandised on the racks and boy was it was a beautiful array of colors, stripes, stars, and flower power! My first thought was "definitely a young version of fashion designer Patrick Robinson". She turns everyday basics into youthful playful pieces for all shapes and sizes - and the prices are freakin' AWESOME! This is one of the reasons I love and shop emerging designer labels - gett'em before their hot! Congrats to NINI!

NINI is the new Nicaraguan designer addition to Boutique Ponte Vecchio (GEO Accessories, Shantall Lacayo) - Thank you Ponte Vecchio for introducing and being a helping hand for emerging designers! ;)
