My story behind the mask

Hello, im glad that you’re here.

My name is Cemelda, and Carnidesigns is my heart’s creation—a tribute to the sun-drenched joy and vibrant spirit of the Caribbean. Rooted in the warmth of Suriname, my heart and soul are deeply tied to Trinidad and St. Lucia, lands that have profoundly shaped my identity and inspired every piece I create at CArnidesigns."the soul of these islands flows through my veins, a soul shaped by the jubilant rhythms and vivid hues of Caribbean carnivals.

From a young age, I was enchanted by the magic of these carnivals—an explosion of color and sound that sweeps through the streets, capturing hearts and freeing spirits. It was here, amidst the laughter and dance, that I found a profound sense of belonging and freedom. These celebrations are not just festivities; they are a lifeline, a way for a community to connect, express, and rejoice in its identity.

Driven by this passion, I founded CArnidesigns. My mission was simple yet ambitious: to offer items like drinkware, phone cases, and soon, clothing, each infused with the essence of Caribbean carnival spirit. I wanted to create unique pieces for those who, like me, are captivated by this cultural extravaganza—those who respect and admire the richness of our heritage.

Every design at CArnidesigns is more than a product; it's a piece of my story and the collective spirit of the Caribbean. They are crafted with the hope of touching your heart and igniting your spirit. When you choose one of our pieces, you’re not just picking an item; you're embracing a fragment of a larger narrative, celebrating freedom, passion, and the vibrant tapestry of life.

Thank you for letting me share this piece of my soul with you. Together, let’s keep the spirit of the Caribbean carnival alive and radiant, wherever we are in the world.
