How has your interior design background influenced your fashion career?

I don’t consider myself a fashion designer, I consider myself more of a textile designer. My interior design background incorporates space and color patterns combining to provide a good foundation in design.

What is your inspiration for your line of scarves?

Inspiration was freedom to create, love and express. That is how I came to design my first scarf, I was eager to be free to create, love and express.

What makes Casana cashmere so special?

We use finest cashmere from Himalayan Mountains. No one else uses such high quality cashmere. All of the scarves are handmade and hand printed with eco-friendly materials. The dye used doesn’t impact environment very much; it’s 80% natural dye. The Casana collection is very high quality don’t use heavy machinery to make cashmere it’s all very authentic.

Where does the name “Casana” come from?

The name Casana comes from Carrie (my name of course) and my two daughters names Sabrina and Natalia. The logo has a feather which represents light material (cashmere). It also represents freedom; the lines of feather were designed to express myself as a mother overseeing my two daughters; freedom to adapt whatever situation encounter.
