We were lucky to catch up with Noel Veloz recently and have shared our conversation below.
Noel , appreciate you joining us today. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.
In order to pursue your dreams you have to take risk in life ! If you vision yourself being successful in your field you just have to go for it !
Noel , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m originally from the Bronx NY and my parents are from the Dominican Republic ! I got into fashion at a very young age since my father was a full time tailor and handbag maker .
Hemincuff is a brand I designed for the modern, fashion-forward risk takers. Hemincuff is committed to empowering a new world order of creative adventurous professionals that aim high, focus on achieving the unachievable and look elegant while doing so.
We create sustainable handbags and accessories!
I’m mostly proud of my dad living his dream through me with HEMINCUFF since his dreams was cut short when he lost his business !
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
Slow fashion and sustainability is a priority. Mainly, all vegan brands are mass-produced. Like there are a few places that do 90% of everything anyone would even see. Hemincuff will do this differently, we are not fast fashion. My work is meticulous and has integrity. My aim is to set the tone for the vegan luxe market and really move it up and on.
Do you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light?
Things don’t happen overnight. You have to have discipline and put in the work everyday in order to see progress. Nothing good comes easy ! Never give up and keep going !
