Our story

The name La Alternativa, derived from the Spanish phrase for "the alternative," embodies the essence of our company – offering innovative solutions to your clothing dilemmas. Karina, the founder, born-and-raised from Puerto Rico, has Spanish as her mother tongue. Her vision was to create a brand rooted in her culture yet easily accessible to diverse audiences.
This brand will serve as a tribute to Karina's grandmother, Maria, who inspired her passion for fashion, craftsmanship, and creativity to make a positive impact on others.

Meet the founder

Karina has always been immersed in the arts throughout her life. From being a singer-songwriter and skilled piano player to creating beautiful mosaics, her creative journey has been diverse. However, it was sewing that truly captured her heart. Guided by her grandmother, Karina started designing at a young age, and once she got her hands on a sewing machine, her passion knew no bounds.
