Bags made in Spain, designed to look like no other
It all begins with an oval shape, "not easy at all" to achieve in leather, as Fátima Álvarez admits. A consultant by profession and, in her own words, curious and restless, she set one condition from the start: if she was going to create a bag brand, it would be in Spain. The leather pieces are her own designs, made in Ubrique from cowhide whose slight variations in texture, tone or small creases are left as they are, part of what makes each bag singular.
Her guiding line fits in one sentence: never make a bag that immediately recalls another. There are bucket bags closed with a drawstring, bags to carry on the shoulder or in the hand, lined in cotton or in a soft, velvety fabric. Alongside the leather, shoppers, clutches and small bucket bags are handcrafted in Spain from upholstery fabrics, in limited editions. The same logic applies to one leather bucket bag: once the chosen leather runs out, the next will be close, never identical. The rest is best discovered on the brand's own site.
A founder who refuses to make a bag that recalls another, and says so. Leather worked in Ubrique with its variations left visible, upholstery fabrics in limited runs, and one simple rule on a leather bucket bag: once the leather runs out, the next is never quite the same.
