Carmen Mercedes Toledo Araoz de Correa

She is better known in the world of fashion as Meche Correa. This fashion designer is a symbol for the passion for aesthetics. She is a self-taught designer and fashion enthusiast.Since a young age she started wearing her own designs as she could not find clothes according to her exclusive taste. While studying interior design she travelled to the city of Huancayo without imagining that would be her first contact with the Andean world. Meche created a women s bag which she called Lovebag, made from an Andean textile called "lliclla". Meche has presented her creations in different local runway shows such as PeruModa and Flash Mode Peru; and in countries like Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, France, and Spain. She has also worked with prison inmates in Lima, teaching them to work materials such as horns and bones, offering them a new opportunity to have a job. Many of them have been released from prison already.
