Holaaaa! (I'm known for shouting that when I see someone I know).

Thank you for stopping by our shop and getting to know a bit about me, Leelo, the designer and owner of this online boutique shop. A journey I started when I was about 11 years old.

 

Growing up Italian-Venezuelan, this helped me fall in love with cultures and designs from South America, and the influences the European and African cultures have instilled in them. It's beautiful to see all this in a great big bowl of culture blends. The beauty and design brought by these different worlds is truly captivating, and has brought me great joy in mixing these ideas and design aesthetics together to create one of a kind pieces for you.

This is where my "Ethnic Boho" designs came from. Most pieces have an Ethnic, Bohemian feel to them, but others are more simple and classic, still playing on the rawness of the materials I use. In my younger years I started upcycling pre-loved metals, wood, leather and stones that were around me, to create new and current looks that were on trend at the moment. This of course was to my discretion, since I was just a little girl. 

As I got older, my technique and eye for fashion & trends improved, as well as the passion and excitement it gave me to create pieces that people were attracted to. When the mood is right, I get to creating new & unique pieces that are handmade by me, in my studio. No one item is like the other, I take my time in creating each and every piece.

Now being in the Fashion industry for over 14 years, I've come to realize how different it feels when creating something with your own bare hands & design aesthetic to something that is not. My craftsmanship coupled with knowledge, truly makes for a unique piece. Setting trends, or reminding my clients what can actually be fashionable and wearable is something I strive for. Guiding your own unique look is something I love to do. Another design aspect I pride myself in, is functionality. Many of the pieces I create can be worn in more than one way. This way, you get more value and wear from my one of a kind pieces. There is always a lot of thought and purpose behind every stone & material I use. I will always let you know if a piece has a specific meaning or backstory behind it.

Because I'd also like to make your event extra special, I am happy to help with Special Orders or Made to Order items. It can be one of a kind, multiple units for Bridesmaids, or Wedding/Baby Shower Gifts or Party Favors for the ladies. This can include the jewelry bag/boxing as well. Other times I've been requested to make are garment bags for the Bridal Party. This can all be discussed and tweaked of course, but working closely with you on your special request is the best way. Please contact me for these inquiries at info@leeandlo.biz, or contact us through our site, in the form below.
