I'm Gabriela Gutierrez. For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in clothing design. I made clothes for my dolls. This led me to study business administration with a full focus on design. I started my studies in leather apparel and later moved on to accessory design. I learned to appreciate the magic of leather and I was amazed!

I think what fascinates me the most about my work is seeing how a piece of leather is transformed into something incredible, like a bag, briefcase or wallet. More than anything, I want to continue creating original designs with my own unique identity.

"When starting this beautiful project, it took a lot of effort and dedication. Sometimes, I had to forego family gatherings to meet my goals, and sometimes I didn't have any time for myself. But this was a dream throughout my life and I cherish every moment. It has become a reality — I wouldn't change this experience for anything.

"My greatest inspiration comes from listening to clients' needs and their opinions. They give me more vision and help me improve my quality process every day. From there, new ideas and perspectives emerge. I work hand in hand with two family members who have been by my side at all times.

"I enjoy knowing with certainty that my work provides continuity to the tradition of leather, a tradition that characterizes this part of Mexico. And being a part of that is incredible. I want to share my designs with people from different parts of the world. And show the wonderful things that Mexican hands create."

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.

Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.

Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.

The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
