Floribel Oxcal
“My name is Kaslen Floribel Oxcal. I was born in Guatemala City in 1991, and I dedicate myself to the design and creation of clothing and accessories. I am the first daughter of my mother, who bravely took on the responsibility of being a single mother. She had to work hard for a long time, so I grew up with my grandparents.<br><br>
“My childhood was very healthy and happy. We had very little, but that was never an impediment to being very happy. I grew up without the love of my father; however I knew from a very young age that he was a great master tailor, and that was what prompted me to enter this world. <br><br>
“Upon graduating from school I realized my talent, so I sold my class ring, bought a sewing machine and began to develop my skills little by little. Over the years, alone in my workshop, I began to make different handicrafts that have become my passion today. <br><br>
“My first piece of work was some double zipper purses. At that time my mother worked in a hospital, and she was in charge of selling them with her co-workers. This year, I formally started my business. I continue to make bags, purses and wallets, but I am also making clothes. It is a totally different world, but I fall in love every day; plus the pieces have the power to highlight the beauty of women. <br><br>
“In addition to this, I really enjoy rescuing dogs from the street, many of whom have suffered abuse. I dedicate myself to taking care of them and looking for a home for them. I would like to give a percentage of my sales to this work, to help the furry ones who are helpless. <br><br>
“I want my clients, when they have one of my pieces in their hands, to know that each one is made with very good quality materials, but above all with a lot of love and dedication, so that the beauty of my Guatemala is appreciated all over the world. <br><br>
“My dream is to have a large company that generates work for more people, especially women in my community; and to buy my own house. I hope that my crafts will reach many countries in the world and be able to achieve all my dreams.”
