Today we’d like to introduce you to Noel Veloz.
Hi Noel, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
As a kid, I was always around my father making bags and accessories in our Bronx NY apartment! Fashion became my Passion at a young age!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. Seeing my father lose it all and we ended up living in the worst projects in New York called the Castle Hill Projects. I use to see a lot of murders, Gangs, people getting jumped, and drugs. I literally built my business from ZERO. No financial support from my family and no business guidance. At Age 13, I worked my first job at Mid-Manhattan Library as a Page. I use to make money to help my parents pay bills and put food on the table. Every night I will pray and work on Hemincuff’s development. Hemincuff got my family and I out of the projects. I do a lot of business in LA now and retired my parents to Florida.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I own a Sustainable Handbag & Accessories company called www.Hemincuff.com! I design handbags for all genders. I specialize using recycled materials and U.S Manufacturing for most of my collection. My work ethic, discipline, work experience, and perseverance sets me apart from others. I am known for creating the first Origami bag with no stitching and completely made by hand.
What matters most to you?
What matters to me is being a positive light in the world and inspiring the world to follow your Dreams with hard work and faith!
