SHANTALL & SHANTALL

As the creative director, Shantall dedicates her life to balancing her roles as a mother, designer, daughter, and sister. With unwavering commitment, she pours her heart into the brand, continuously pushing creative boundaries while staying grounded in the values that matter most to her.

Shantall's journey is a testament to the dedication and resilience of a woman who embraces every aspect of her life with love and determination.

SHANTALL & HER FAMILY TEAM

The brand is committed to celebrating the beauty and heritage of Latin American artisans, while also embracing modernity, art, and the designer's personal sense of nostalgia. Surrounded by art from a young age, Lacayo was deeply influenced by her mother, Lauren Lacayo, who owned Museo Galeria Genesis, a gallery that supported Nicaraguan artists. Today, Lacayo continues her work in Managua, with the unwavering support of her mother, Lauren, and her sister, Francesca.

SHANTALL & HER COLLABORATORS

We are deeply proud to work alongside talented women designers, artisans and seamstresses in Nicaragua. By collaborating with these skilled women, we not only support their craft but also help provide a sustainable income for their families. Through our partnership, these artisans are able to showcase their unique talents and contribute to their communities, empowering themselves and future generations.

 

SHANTALL & XOW

We celebrate the strength and resilience of women everywhere, while staying true to our roots, community, and responsibility. We are proud to partner with XtraOrdinary Women (XOW), an organization dedicated to empowering disadvantaged women in Central America. XOW offers personalized psychological support and job skills training to help women start small businesses and achieve financial independence. By supporting XOW’s entrepreneurial programs, we are helping women escape poverty and violence, creating brighter futures for them and their families.

XOW’s impactful work is especially significant in Nicaragua, Shantall's home country. As a female entrepreneur who has worked tirelessly to provide for her family, Shantall understands the challenges faced by the women XOW serves. Many of these women are denied opportunities to even begin their journey toward a better life. XtraOrdinary Women provides the chance they deserve.
