MYBARRIO Team #AtHome is revealed; a united family!

  • Post category:PEOPLE

MYBARRIO belongs to everyone, MYBARRIO is the community, MYBARRIO is human, and now more than ever, the situation has made us open up and show you our true “face” in a simple and natural way. And today, as the founder of MYBARRIO (Hortense), I wanted with great pride to show you part of the team of people and beautiful souls from their homes, who are part of the team, who always support the project, from the bottom of my heart; be it my pop ups team, same as some souls who listen to me, or others who have helped me a lot in the domains that I control the least. I hire my team based on their values, their thoughts, intelligence, and very important, their happiness and good vibes, this is why you can feel such a good atmosphere on the Pop Up events. They are MYBARRIO. They are family. Discover them now.

How can you picture MYBARRIO in 10 years?
In 10 years, I see MYBARRIO as a platform, a creative gallery where artists with few possibilities can show what they do. I see it as an affirmed brand, creating its own sustainable collection, and affirming the values with which it was born.

I love the work of Caliope Jewels, I have always been obsessed with flowers (my name means “little flower” in Latin) and her designs are very delicate and precious.

How can you picture MYBARRIO in 10 years?

A great online store with different versions, each one related to big cities and with its own identity, and also applied to pop-ups events. But always characterized by the quality of what it sells, the valorization of the local actors and the spirit of community.
