Maria Elena Fuentes
Maria Elena Fuentes, the visionary founder and owner of Maria Elena Headpieces and Accessories, hails from the vibrant city of Habana, Cuba. Her journey is intricately woven with a rich artisanal heritage, shaped by the creative influence of her mother, Carmela, who was a skilled childrenswear designer.
Despite the artistic thread running through her family, Maria Elena initially charted a different course. Faced with pivotal life decisions, she and her husband, Raul Fuentes, embarked on a courageous journey to escape Cuba. During those early years, Raul faced political prisoner in Cuba, and Maria Elena, displaying unwavering resilience, single-handedly cared for their daughter, Marile Lopez, during the formative years of Marile's life in Spain.
While significant challenges and life-altering decisions marked Maria Elena's early years, she demonstrated exceptional adaptability and resilience. In Spain, as Marile was growing up, the family faced financial constraints, and Maria Elena, with her creative ingenuity, designed and sewed clothing for Marile, from Halloween costumes to prom dresses. Despite the limited resources, Maria Elena's determination and talent not only provided for her daughter but laid the foundation for her future in the world of design.
Maria Elena's entrepreneurial spirit led her to study accounting, and she subsequently built a successful career in the field. It was in the pursuit of her daughter's unique vision for a wedding headpiece that Maria Elena's latent creative instincts found expression. Crafting an elaborate and distinctive piece for Marile's wedding set in motion the inception of Maria Elena Headpieces and Accessories.
