1979 to Today: A Master Artisan's Evolution from Employee to Workshop Owner
Meet the master craftsman behind every K Marina Designs piece. In 1979, Juan José Hernández was just another employee in Guatemala's leather industry. After being fired for asking for a raise, he made a leap of faith that changed everything. Today, he runs his own workshop in Pastores where his sons learn alongside him, crafting each K Marina piece with nearly five decades of expertise. This is his story of resilience, family legacy, and the courage to bet on your own hands - a journey from employee to master that embodies everything K Marina Designs stands for.
