With over 20 years of experience across fashion, media, and communications, Raquel López-Abarca is a visionary entrepreneur guided by creativity and purpose.

In 2018, she founded Amapola—an atelier devoted to handcrafted, made-to-measure pieces featuring exclusive printed textiles. Rooted in craftsmanship and individuality, the brand reflects her commitment to creating meaningful, feminine design.

In 2022, she expanded her vision with CASANI, a curated boutique dedicated to celebrating and elevating Nicaraguan design and artistry.

“I am following my vocation, dedicating my passion to empowering women. Amapola is a vehicle for women to look and feel their best—a catalyst for self-expression and the discovery of beauty from within.”
