General information
- Short Summary
- The Spanish company is dedicated to the handmade manufacture of bags and backpacks. All the materials used in the process are recycled and recyclable such as a tarpaulin made from recycled plastic bottles. The company is seeking distributors for their products with a special emphasis on international resellers who value local culture and traditions, such as museum or shops specialized in handicrafts.
- Full Description
-
The company is made up of a single self-employed worker, but with a wide network of collaborators, many of whom are women from rural areas. The production, customer service and direct sales are the responsibility of the entrepreneur, who manufactures each piece on demand from her workshop in the Valley of Liebana (National Park of Picos de Europa), and then sends it to each customer.
Their entire production and the materials used in the process are from Europe, and they therefore adhere to the EU's legislation regarding fair and ethical labor. The company does not use any material of animal origin and follow a sustainable creation process.
The company always tries to collaborate with local suppliers. The designs for the prints are made together with a local illustrator, the communication in networks is carried out by a rural communication agency, and the suppliers of raw materials are national (and as far as possible local).
The company wants their products last for a long time. For that reason, and beyond the warranty period to which the customer is entitled by law, the company offers their customers a repair and parts replacement service.
The current catalogue, available in the brand's online shop, includes five product models between bags and backpacks, made in different combinations of plain and printed materials. The prints are their own and are rooted in the territory telling stories from the Liébana Valley (National Park of Picos de Europa) enhancing its cultural heritage, where 100% of the products are handmade.
The company is active in the Spanish market, through various distributors and its own webshop, and now they are looking to expand the business to other markets. - Advantages and Innovations
- The differential value of the company lies in the strong link with the territory, the value of handcrafted work 100% made in Spain and the use of sustainable materials, such as canvas made from recycled plastic bottles and organic or recycled cotton. In addition, the brand is based on the visibility of women's work and respect for the environment and the people who are part of the production process.
