About Soul Breathe

Soul Breathe was born with the purpose of connecting with people beyond verbal communication.

After living in different parts of the world for many years, I came to understand the true meaning of a smile, but also the meaning behind what we wear  not as fashion or material status, but as a reflection of the serenity we feel when we are comfortable being ourselves.

Today we live in a society that believes spending more means feeling better, when in reality it is often the opposite. Filling ourselves with things that have no purpose is one of the emptiest things we can do for our soul, because we are feeding something external instead of nurturing our essence and who we truly are.

At Soul Breathe, we are not focused on making you buy a product just for the sake of consumption. The simple fact that you are here, reading this message or connecting with any message carried through our collections and pieces, already means enough to us.

The intention we put into what we create goes far beyond the click of a purchase. It is a path we chose to follow, guided by the desire to connect with others, and along the way we continue connecting with more and more people.

To this day, many of our products have sold out, but for us that is not reflected in numbers. It is reflected in the feeling of knowing we are part of many people’s lives by sharing a positive message. That is when I understood the mission had already been accomplished carrying this message far beyond my own thoughts and feelings.

Since I was very young, my mother taught us that every month we should donate clothes. Some pieces no longer fit us because we had grown, others still had tags because they had never been used. She taught us not to buy just for the sake of having more, but also the blessing of sharing and seeing others receive something in good condition and in many cases, something completely new.

She taught us to understand that what we no longer use can be received by someone else with gratitude, purpose, and intention. Sometimes we feel like we are missing things, but the truth is that we always have something to give.

Today, I feel happiness knowing that so many objects and personal belongings that once belonged to me are now in the hands of people around the world. Letting go with love and giving to others is one of the most rewarding feelings.

I still continue this mission whenever I can, even in places where I once thought it would not be necessary to give things away. Yet every time I did, I received gratitude from those who received them and saw genuine joy on their faces simply through the act of giving.

That is why “Around the World” was born. Because beyond traveling, I have always wanted to connect deeply with every place, to feel like I belong there, and to leave a part of myself behind especially if that part can mean something useful or meaningful to someone else.

I am passionate about mountains, and during one of my trips I met a woman who told me she loved my boots and that boots like those were difficult to find in her country. She said she would use them for gardening and working in the countryside.That same day, I cleaned the boots as I always do after wearing my shoes  and the next morning I gave them to her. I told her, “You will enjoy them more than I will.”

Maybe those boots had traveled all the way to that country for that exact reason. Maybe I bought them for that trip only to leave them there. The happiness on that woman’s face is something I still carry with me.

Once someone asked me, “Why would you give it away if it still looks almost new? You might need it later.” But I believe we should not wait until things are damaged or useless before giving them away. On the contrary, I take care of everything I own as if I had just bought it. That is one of the purest forms of gratitude for what we have.

Life is not about how much you have or how much you lack it is about how much you are willing to give.

I understood that visual language belongs to everyone, and that what we wear with genuine energy has the power to connect people. That is who we are at Soul Breathe.

My name is Valeska Hernandez, and I carry the lesson my mother taught me to every person I can reach especially those who understand the beauty of giving with gratitude.

Welcome to Soul Breathe, and thank you for connecting with me.

Take care of what you have, because what may seem extra to you today could become someone else’s treasure tomorrow and we should always be ready to share it.
