Meet Marijana Camovic – Schwarte | Creative Mind behind Hera and Hermes Kids Fashion Store

I have decided to leave my home country 15 years ago to experience working in a large-scale business environment; I also became a resident of four different countries during my tenure. I lived in Serbia, Russia, The Bahamas, and finally, the USA. While I was based in these countries and working for the consulting firm, I traveled to many other places like Mongolia, Europe, the Caribbean islands, Asia, etc. In total, I have been fortunate enough to travel to 68 different countries. I admired the different cultures, flavors, scents, and traditions from each country I stepped foot in during my extensive journey. But it was fashion that became my infatuation. I learned that people use clothing to express themselves through designs, colors, and fabrics. Not only do the garments differ according to the place, but the attitude with which people carry them –people wear History on their shoulders. I realized why prominent fashion designers get inspired by traditional outfits. I saw reverence and honor in Japan’s silk and satin; I discovered joy and warmth in the wool from Peru. I felt the magic and spirituality in the embroidery from India. During my odyssey, I also found love in the most wonderful and supportive man.

After so many years in the corporate world, I realized that now I have the opportunity in my life to make some real changes. I had a child that inspired me to follow my excitement. I decided to give all I have.  My work ethic, experience, passion for fashion mixed with my travels around the world, connections that I made through the years, and combined that into a new endeavor that we decided to call Hera Hermes | Kids Fashion Store.  Or how we internally call it “Your Magic Sailing Wardrobe.” Inspired by Greek Mythology, Hera was the Goddess of Marriage and Childbirth, and Hermes, the Gods’ messenger with the wings attached to his hat and sandals.
