Maria Elena and her daughter, Marile have been creating headpieces for brides to be for many years. It all started as a mothers gift, when Maria Elena created her first hairpiece as a present to her daughter, Marile on her wedding day. The piece Maria created for her daughter is no doubt a special heirloom that will be worn by future generations in the family. The idea of a timeless heirloom is the philosophy the mother and daughter design duo continue to draw into their designs. Every piece created is designed to last for years to come, allowing not just brides, but families to cherish the handmade piece.
