Born in Madrid— Between Tradition and the Art of Leather

They were both born in the heart of Madrid — a city where cobblestone streets, sunlit plazas, and age-old trades have long been symbols of artistry and devotion.

Even as children, they were surrounded by the scent of leather and the echo of sewing machines — a soundtrack to generations of craft.

Their families ran small workshops tucked between the old markets and narrow alleyways. It was there that they first learned what it meant to create something that would last — something to be used, loved, and passed on.

A Quiet Love for Leather — Grown by Hand, Rooted in Heart

While others sought faster lives and modern professions, they were drawn to the quiet rhythm of hand-stitching — to the patience it demanded, to the beauty of imperfection.

Each afternoon, they worked side by side — cutting patterns, threading needles, and carefully shaping rough hides into something elegant, enduring, and real.

Those slow hours became their foundation.
They didn’t just teach technique — they taught purpose.
They didn't just teach them a skill: they gave them a calling.

Their First Bag — Simple, Sturdy, and Full of Meaning

At nineteen, they crafted their first complete leather bag together — a small satchel made from soft brown hide, with hand-burnished edges and a single brass clasp.

They placed it in the front window of their family’s tiny shop. That same afternoon, someone walked in and bought it.

It was then they realized their hands weren’t just repeating old motions — they were telling stories.

They could shape not only leather, but emotions — the kind people would carry with them every day.

Taking Over the Workshop — Young, But Full of Vision

When her parents retired, the couple stood at a crossroads: close the doors, or continue the legacy.
They chose the harder path — the braver one.

With courage far beyond their years, they rebuilt the workshop, brought in seasonal artisans, and gave new life to the old space in the heart of Madrid.

Their mission was clear: to honor the roots of traditional Spanish craftsmanship while breathing modern soul into every design.

A Fire That Destroyed Everything — And Reignited It All

In the summer of 1989, tragedy struck. A short circuit in the workshop caused a fire that reduced everything to ashes — tools, hides, photos, memories.

For a moment, silence filled the space that once echoed with creation.

Rebuilding with Heart, Hands, and Hope

But even in ruin, they refused to surrender.
They salvaged what they could, bought new tools, and began again — one stitch at a time.

Not out of necessity, but out of love.
Every bag that followed carried something more than craftsmanship.

It carried resilience.

A New Beginning — And a Shared Life of Craft

Three years later, their new workshop opened its doors once more — brighter, fuller of light and life.

Theirs was no longer just a business. It was a partnership — of love, of labor, and of legacy.
Every creation spoke in harmony — her precision, his strength, their shared devotion.

Over time, their small atelier became known across Spain for its honesty, its detail, and its warmth.

From One-of-a-Kind Pieces to a Digital Atelier — With Family by Their Side

Years later, their daughter joined the business. She helped guide the brand into the modern age — first through craft fairs, then online.

Today, the couple still arrives at the workshop early every morning.
They mentor young artisans, share quiet stories over coffee, and continue to create pieces filled with meaning — testaments to time, care, and heart.
