Hugo Orellana

"Each cut, each stitch, each hammer blow has the great dedication of the craftsman to obtain an attractive and different piece for each client."

“My name is Hugo Ernesto Orellana Alvarado, and I am creative, persevering and positive. I was born in the department of... San Miguel in El Salvador in 1970. I grew up in the North, in the town of Perquín, in the department of Morazán. I lived a normal childhood, until the Civil War broke out, which is why my family migrated to San Salvador, where I finished training as an adult. Since I was little, my father instilled in me a love for art, especially for drawing and painting. With a marked interest in the arts, I entered the University of El Salvador in the career of Plastic Arts, and since then my working life has revolved around different artistic disciplines.

“I was fired from my job as a creative in an advertising agency and decided to venture out on my own. Four years ago we formalized a family business of leather goods. I remember that the first piece I made was a hand-sewn and cut box, decorated with pyrography as a gift to my wife, which she still has 24 years later. I managed to overcome a difficult situation, creating a project that allows us to cope with the crisis. It has been difficult, with few opportunities or support and with many demands; but it has been very satisfying to be able to achieve it despite everything.

“I had the opportunity to work in a leather workshop that exported products to New Mexico, and it was there that I was able to see the process first hand, and then try it on my own in a self-taught way. It is an activity that allows me to develop new ideas, creating products and exploiting my creativity in each project to be carried out. Even so, it has been necessary to receive additional training and to access tutorials through the internet to strengthen my capacities. We use leather as the raw material in its different variants, as well as hardware, thread, beeswax, and other materials that I buy locally. In some cases, supplies and tools are imported. The best part of my job is satisfying customers through my products; it inspires me to create new products.

“In our family, as a work team, each one has his responsibilities stipulated, working according to his abilities and skills, following the parameters established in the production line. Over time, the leather working process has become industrialized, and artisanal methods have been left behind. In our production process and as the essence of the brand, handwork is a fundamental part, establishing the difference between industrial and artisanal.

“I dream of strengthening our brand to the point of being able to have our products for sale in different countries around the world. Each piece that I make carries a high level of determination and commitment, since everything is handmade. Each cut, each stitch, each hammer blow has the great dedication of the craftsman to obtain an attractive and different piece for each client. We are a responsible, committed and dedicated company who value artisan work.”

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

SLEEVE

INSEAM

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
