Hercina Oliveira, President of Elite Furs, was born in Portugal in the beautiful island of Graciosa, Azores. While still very young, Hercina traveled to Canada with her parents and sisters, leaving behind her small island and starting fresh here in Toronto, Canada.

Hercina had a dream, to become a teacher. But after living in Canada for a few years her dreams soon turned to the world of Fashion. After working 10 years in a clothing firm, Hercina had learned the trade. Hercina went on to George Brown to take a course in Design, and thereafter founded the firm Elite Furs.
