Note from Antanina

I came to the U.S. alone when I was 19. My twenties were spent adjusting to life in a new country—navigating the unfamiliar, working through the long legal process of naturalization, becoming a mom, and starting a business from scratch.

My thirties were about providing for my daughter, learning through trial and error, and doing everything I could to grow Karina Boutique. With every challenge, my vision expanded. As I grew personally, so did my ambition for what this business could become—not just for me, but for the women we serve.

Today, I’m at the beginning of a new chapter—one where the dream I once carried alone is now a reality.

With all my heart,
Antanina

That’s why I’m so proud to introduce our Dreams by Ana Giving Back Program.

Starting now, a portion of every sale from our Dreams by Ana bridal collection will go toward a small business grant—created especially for a bride who is also an aspiring entrepreneur. I know what it’s like to carry an idea that burns in your heart, to dream about it night after night, and to finally see it take shape.

This is my way of paying it forward. Thank you for supporting Karina Boutique—and for being part of this journey.

I’m living proof that persistence, belief, and hard work can bring your vision to life.
