"Growing up in a tropical environment in Miami, I tend to get really nostalgic since I left my hometown to pursue my dream of being a celebrity fashion designer in the concrete jungle of New York City. One of my memories as a child, as I went through countless hurricanes, I remembered of the strength of the Spanish roof tile, which were always left standing despite power outages, fallen palm trees, howling wind, and heavy rain. After the storm passed, I noticed the strength of that Spanish tile left standing. To me, this represents the overall structure of the bag, the stitched lines on the front for the tile, along with the beauty of the scallop top. The front pockets represents the elegance and gentleness of a flower. Every women I meet loves pockets and flowers. So, I call this Flower Power, in which this structured design represents both the strength and delicateness of a woman's heart and soul."
