Marie Bendeck

Although normally based in Honduras, Marie spent several months in Guatemala because of the pandemic lockdown, a place that quickly became her second home. Living in the city, discovering new ways to live, she took short walks every day in her new neighboorhood where she felt deeply connected
and inspired. For several days, while Marie was working, she noticed a small visitor, a dragonfly come by, the dragonfly always seemed to get stuck in a window and couldnʼt find his way out, Marie helped the dragonfly go outside again each time, this happened for several days, Marie quickly learned there was a special connection and a clear sign, this is were the main inspiration for the collection was born.
For ‘Lobelulaʼ Marie translated this experience following the organic shape of a dragonfly, adding colourful pieces into the collection with much detail, specially in the wings of the dragonfly, where you can see some pieces have divisions with different color palette combinations, she also wanted to connect
a sentimental value to the concept, which is ‘loveʼ, therefore , the collection was named ‘lobelulaʼ.
