Mariana: – Hi, hi! I love what you do!
Mosquito: – Oh, thank you! It means a lot to me!
I admire Mariana immensely. Her universe, her incredible and delicate taste, her infinite references, and her impeccable selection of vintage blazers. Mariana is a true inspiration to me. But none of this would be complete without mentioning her generosity, kindness, and warmth. This is how Mariana and I became the creators of the Baru and Rosario necklace.
This is why, for me, these necklaces symbolize the cooperation among women: non-competition, generosity, and mutual support. And Mariana is all about those; generosity, strength, and attitude. With her infinite curiosity, Mariana began with vintage items casually, turning her hobby into her profession. She spent her free time searching for luxury pieces in Paris, where she has lived for nearly a decade, for her personal collection or to sell to her friends. Not speaking French, and far from Medellín, when people asked her about the pieces she wore, she would simply respond, “merci, c’est vintage,” and from there, her project was born. There couldn’t be a more fitting name.
