Ainara is originally from Spain, and she is influenced by the strong women in her family and her entrepreneur grandfather who reinvented himself several times until the end. Ainara owns a San Diego slow fashion clothing company called MuXu Creations.From the MuXu Creations website:At MuXu Creations, we rescue fabrics: gorgeous swatches, deadstock rolls of fabric, scraps, or vintage pieces from ending in landfills and transform them into one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story. We hand cut and sew from start to finish, to give you garments that last longer because of the attention to detail and care we put in every stitch. We even started printing our original watercolors in some garments as wearable art. Those who wear a MuXu Creations piece are making a strong statement about their mindset: sustainability with style, uniqueness, and quality to come back to enjoy the particularity of each product.Thank you for continuing to support Skills Pay Bills, Sew Loka and Slow Fashion, we appreciate you!!!@sewloka@skillspaybillstv@muxu.creationsSew Loka website: https://sewloka.com/shopSew Loka Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sewloka/?hl=enMuXu Creations website: https://www.muxucreations.com/shopMuXu Creations IG: https://www.instagram.com/muxu.creations/ https://sewloka.com/Thank you for continuing to support Sew Loka and Skills Pay Bills, we appreciate you!
