Voor mij is fashion altijd meer geweest dan kleding; het is een manier om te stralen, jezelf te laten zien, en gesprekken te starten zonder een woord te zeggen. Als moeder en trotse oma van mijn oogappel \u2013 mijn ontzettend lieve kleinzoon \u2013 weet ik hoe belangrijk het is om momenten van schoonheid en trots te koesteren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oorspronkelijk kom ik uit Luanda, Angola. De eerste jaren van mijn leven waren zwaar. Angola is lang geteisterd door burgeroorlogen en instabiliteit, en voor mij voelde het alsof er geen toekomst was. Toen ik zestien was, verhuisde ik naar Nederland. Daar leerde ik snel de taal en begon ik te werken. Van het runnen van mijn eigen beauty salons tot werken voor grote fashion brands \u2013 mode en beauty hebben altijd in mijn hart gezeten. Het is echt mijn passie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toch wilde ik meer. Ik hou van opvallende items, van dat soort elegantie dat je doet stralen alsof je over de rode loper loopt. Helaas zit hier vaak een flinke prijskaart aan. En dat frustreerde me. Ik wilde dat iedereen de kans krijgt om te shinen op events, ongeacht budget. Zo is Wear Celestials ontstaan. Ons doel is simpel: elegante, opvallende fashion toegankelijk maken voor iedereen die het wil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bij het uitkiezen van onze items hebben we altijd \u00e9\u00e9n gedachte: <em>welk item heeft het in zich om een gesprek te starten?<\/em> Iets dat je draagt en dat mensen doet stoppen, kijken en complimenten geven. Natuurlijk is dit niet voor iedereen, maar voor wie het wil, moet het beschikbaar zijn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onze inspiratie komt uit het binnenland van Spanje \u2013 een kant van fashion die misschien niet zo bekend is. Vol kleur, vol cultuur, vol passie. Wij struinen met hart en ziel door de straten, op zoek naar die echte eyecatchers. Elk item is kwalitatief hoogstaand en zorgvuldig afgewerkt, zodat je je zelfverzekerd voelt en een statement maakt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoewel we nog in de beginfase zitten, zijn we overweldigd door de positieve reacties. Onze klanten vertellen ons dat ze steeds complimenten krijgen. Dat maakt ons ontzettend blij. Want uiteindelijk draait het daar om: dat stiekem de show stelen, zonder dat het geforceerd aanvoelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Het begin is altijd uitdagend, dat weet ik uit eigen ervaring. Maar laat je niet uit het veld slaan. Volg je passie, geloof erin, en met doorzettingsvermogen en hard werk, zul je zien dat het lukt. Dat is mijn tip aan iedereen die durft te dromen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bij  Celestials geloven we in kwaliteit, uitstraling, en in het gevoel dat een item je kan geven. Voor mij en Vanessa is dit pas het begin. Samen willen we jou laten stralen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veel Liefs,<br><strong>Celeste<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Celeste, and together with my daughter Vanessa, I founded Celestials.
