THE DESIGNER
Jacqueline Suriano is of Chinese descent, born in Washington DC and raised in Guatemala and El Salvador. While growing up, Jacqueline was heavily influenced by her multicultural background and her parent's personal interests - art and business. Her mother's family has always geared her interest towards art, and her father has always brought out the entrepreneur and business woman in her
With that in mind, Jacqueline pursued a BFA in Fashion Design at Parsons the New School of Design in NYC with the goal to one day become a fashion entrepreneur.
Fast forward and five years later, Jacqueline returned to El Salvador and successfully launched her company (Jacqueline Suriano), which now aims to combine her studies and local craft to create one-of-a-kind pieces.
In 2016, Jacqueline won The Most Socially Responsible Handbag from the Independent Handbag Designers Awards in New York.
