My Comments: Carlos Pinel is the most important international designers in Columbia and in South America.
For 20 years he has been designing an ever expanding and highly commercially successful collection that offers everything for women from shoes to lingerie from dresses to bags.
With a unique South American flair.
Now looking to expand into the European market - starting with the UK.
