Hello! My name is Mariela, which is why I go by Mar&Ella. "Mar" means sea, and "Ella" means she in Spanish – a perfect reflection of my love for the sea. I feel a deep connection with its beauty and power.

I’m originally from Cuba, but I’ve been living in the USA for the past 20 years. During my life, I’ve developed a strong bond with the Mediterranean sea culture—maybe from another life. I hold a degree in Industrial Design, and after years of working for others, I decided in 2020 to take the leap and create my own brand.
