The museum boutique: Bags with art.
Sustainable style and the art of craftsmanship
When traveling, what better way to experience local culture than to visit a museum? I have always liked museums; however, its stores can be hit or miss. I never seem to find anything unique, classy, or sophisticated . Does not exist! The idea of creating design pieces that recall or reproduce works of art is the perfect way to express myself. But what I discovered was that the quality was lousy: bags and accessories made of plastic or fake leather (more plastic – ufff). My conscience and taste did not allow me to buy such a thing! I wanted something more special, with soul.
DESIGN
The exquisiteness of a designer piece, made with natural materials and works of art, speaks of me, the person who wears it. Of my interests, values and concerns.
After 10 years creating for luxury brands and specializing in accessories, I decided to launch myself with this idea. And the reaction of whoever saw them on me was immediate: Where did you get that bag!? I love it! But there was only mine.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS
I wanted materials that would match my environmental awareness . I know how difficult it is to decide on a bag. And not only for aesthetics, but for the materials: fake fur is produced with petroleum, which is the worst thing for the environment. And most of the real leather that we usually find is tanned with very harmful chemicals (chrome specifically).
Our bags are made with Biocuir® Leather. It is treated (dyed) with products that are not harmful to the environment, and after 10 hot washes in the washing machine (or a long period of time under water), it returns to its natural state . All metals are nickel free. And the printed fabric is local, washable and of the highest quality.
When I don't want that bag, I can take out the metal ones and put them in the bin of compostable organic material without regret. And so this sophisticated bag helps me reduce my carbon footprint.
ARTISAN
Finally I was able to create the network of artisans who make my bags by hand in Spain with a wonderful biodegradable leather, with a soft and natural touch. The art of these experts is noticeable in every stitch. Sometimes the bags are not identical, but they are all made in a wonderful way.
We put at your disposal very special pieces, made in small quantities and by hand: Your (secret) boutique of bags with art.
Expressing yourself through your bags and accessories, and differentiating yourself knowing that you are not harming the planet is very powerful.
Our bags are that detail that distinguishes you by whispering over short distances.
