A few days ago we organized a very special dinner at Valentina Suárez-Zuloaga's house. We can't think of a better hostess than her, a woman who embodies local fashion, design, and creativity like few others.

It was a gathering just the way we like it: unhurried, with time to listen to each other. The guests were six women we deeply admire: entrepreneurial, creative, and courageous. Women who, through their projects and their way of being, inspire and represent us.

We shared experiences and reflections, talked about entrepreneurship, the paths each of us has taken, the difficult decisions, and what drives us. And, of course, we talked about jewelry, crafts, creativity, and the importance of forging one's own identity, of being true to oneself.

Thank you to Valentina for opening her home to us and welcoming us with such warmth, and to each of the women who shared that evening with us. We left with the certainty that when women come together with honesty and generosity, valuable things happen.
