I'm Melina, the founder, let me show you around
THE FOUNDER
HOLA! I’m Melina, an Argentine conference interpreter based in Brussels, where I bridge cultures and languages in a dynamic and multicultural environment.
La Querencia was born from my desire to showcase the beauty and richness of Argentine crafts.
This venture is like a red thread connecting me to my homeland, weaving together the stories, traditions, and skills of talented artisans. Each handcrafted piece not only reflects the creativity and passion of its maker but also carries a piece of Argentina’s cultural heritage.
Through La Querencia, I aim to create a bridge between these artisans and a global audience, inviting you to experience the unique artistry that embodies the spirit of Argentina.
Join me in celebrating this vibrant connection to our roots and the incredible diversity of Argentine crafts.
