- La Mantuana's Origins -

The concept for LA MANTUANA was inspired by a South American society that existed in the 18th Century...

...the Mantuanos

An elite group of landowners in Caracas, Venezuela. The noble women of this society, the Mantuanas, were immediately identified by all for their appearance and perfect grace. These women were the only ones in the community allowed to wear a veil at church, the only ones that travelled with an entourage of helpers and they even used to wear tinkling bells under their dresses so people could hear them coming. They were privileged, elegant, extraordinary and indulged.

The vision for LA MANTUANA is to provide the necessary support and advice to help today's LATINA woman transform into the most extraordinary version of herself.

Today's Mantuana is unique, confident and BRAVE -turning heads wherever she goes.

Patricia Manley is the brains and heart behind the LA MANTUANA brand and was lucky enough to be born in the same city as women like fashion designer Carolina Herrera, Latin-American heroine Luisa Caceres de Arismendi and Music Composer Teresa Carreno. Over the years, she has always been true to her roots, taken risks and grasped any opportunity to establish herself as a real modern-day Mantuana.

Mum of Ethan and Grace, her biggest challenge has been to bring up her neurodiverse son, showing him that it is possible to have a successful life and being an advocate about neurodiversity to make the world a place more inclusive and aware of the invisible disabilities. 

She is trying to do her best wearing many hats each day - Wife, Sister, Daughter, friend, podcaster, Agile Coach and Tech Lead. She lives in UK and love traveling to new places, walking, fashion, strength workout and meditation  and a glass of Prosecco on a Friday night

Patricia's mission is to inspire and motivate immigrant women to become better versions of themselves...

...working with them from the inside out, helping them to reach their full potential and transforming each and every one into a confident and happy person that really shows.

The biggest outcome of Patricia's decision is having more time to spend with her family as well as more time to fulfill her passion in helping other women follow suit -to find true confidence and happiness through professional fulfillment, financial success and to be their true self.
