n 2020, antes de que azotara la pandemia, las hermanas Elizabeth y Linda Carmona decidieron probar un nuevo emprendimiento: hacer camisas personalizadas para sus familias. “En realidad, nunca pensamos en convertirlo en un negocio; empezamos a mostrar nuestro trabajo, así que, de boca en boca, la gente comenzó a acercarse a nosotros para pedir camisas aquí y allá”, dijo Elizabeth.
