Personalized Gifts by Mi Refugio Projects
Tiffani Corral Ortega Makes Jewelry, Purses, Shoes, and More
“Make it personal.” This is the guiding principle behind Mi Refugio Projects, Tiffani Corral Ortega’s line of handmade jewelry, purses, shoes, blankets, baskets, and more.
They’re also the perfect example of making the best out of a challenging situation. “My mom was really sick, and I had a lot of anger in me and needed a healthy outlet,” said Ortega, who started her business two years ago, channeling her feelings into creations that dazzle in their simplicity. “These projects were getting me through it.”
She chose the name Mi Refugio because it means a personal refuge, and it also reflects where she lives and crafts along the Gaviota Coast. Her work stands apart due to not only her focus on quality materials but also in her dedication to making unique treasures that suit the specific tastes of her customer.
