About Us
Welcome! I'm Cintia Diarbakrli, the founder of Jocacy, and I want to share my heartfelt story with you. It's a journey from war-torn Syria to the lively city of Canada Montreal, where Jocacy began and been based.
I am Armenian Syrian, born and raised in Syria. I lived in Syria my whole life, until the war began. My family and I lived through it for two years; through bombs, fear and all the dangerous conditions that war brings. Naturally, my family decided to pack our bags and flee our home, our country, for a better life.
We moved to Canada 8 years ago knowing no other languages but our own, knowing no one else but our family, having no security (job, finances, etc) and had to start a new life, with nothing, from nothing.
I decided to use this "misery" as fuel to work towards my aspirations. I decided to work really hard on myself, take low paying jobs just to learn French/English and to socialize. After a couple of years, I decided to take action and follow my dream: own and operate my own clothing line.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?" "YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
EXPERIENCE!" "HOW?" "IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK".
No one believed in me, not even my own family. But I didn't care, because I believed in myself and I knew I would make it someday. I wanted it too badly for it NOT to work.
I put my blood, sweat, tears, and all I had into building my brand, my baby, Jocacy.
In Canada, I discovered my passion for fashion, a way to express my experiences and dreams.
Jocacy is more than just a brand to me; it represents resilience and the beauty of starting fresh.
When you shop at Jocacy, you can expect the highest quality fabrics, all vetted by my team and I.
Come along as I show you how my dreams turned into the reality of Jocacy today.
Love,
Cintia - Founder
