Hi! I’m Lorena
I’ve always believed that magic lives in the little moments, and that’s something I learned from my grandma Mariela. The way she saw the world taught me to find beauty in simple things and laugh whenever possible.
That’s how La Nieta de Mariela was born, a brand full of joy. Thanks to my three muses, Koda, Gatin, and Dona, I’ve learned that life is better with paws on the floor, wagging tails, and fur on the clothes.
Here, we celebrate the things that make us happy: animals, food, travel, and those small pleasures that fill life with magic. That’s why each piece is illustrated with patterns that tell a story, kitties exploring Dubai, gardens full of cats, cute pups, astro-cats... and more!
We’re a team of five: Koda, Gatin, Dona, John, and me :)And we want to design products that become little treasures: special pieces that make you smile every time you see or wear them.
