All our handbags and leather goods are handcrafted in a factory in the south of Spain that embodies the craftsmanship and artisan techniques that we believe luxury should stand for. It can take 50 different pieces or more and 12 skilful artisans to make one of our bags. Each style requires an incredibly elaborate process, making each handbag a small piece of art.
