For Jimena Larrondo, one of the biggest challenges in designing a collection is to blend her style with what the consumer wants and can buy. As the creator of Santo Remedio and designer of accessories, she seeks to develop pieces with a unique identity and in a responsible way.
Jimena has collaborated with designers such as Guillermo Jester and created garments, jewelry and decorative pieces. In this online course, she will teach you how to make a beaded bag and advise you on how to continue designing these statement pieces and have your own collection.

Yes, the course covers techniques to add fringes, feathers, charms, letters, and other embellishments, allowing each bag to be unique and reflect your personal style.
Es muy fácil de entender, me encantó
No es útil, no brinda toda la información necesaria, sólo enseña una trama, falta información sobre los materiales como grosor de la tanza en relación al tamaño de la perla. Los videos no tienen el enfoque apropiado para poder observar cómo se desarrolla la trama. Falta contenido al curso
Je ne suis qu'a la moitié du cours et je suis très impliqué dans la réalisation de mon projet ainsi que des différents conseils que Mme Larrondo Martinez nous donne. Le sujet du cours est cohérent avec le contenu donc j'ai hâte de voir la suite.
Es super genial el curso y Super completo me encanta 😊
Muy útil, está muy bien explicado. No es necesario un conocimiento anterior, es muy sencillo de entender.
