We are an independent atelier for exclusive leather products based in Barcelona, Spain.
Since 2018 we handcraft minimalistic leather products with traditional production methods. Our products result from mixing the classic minimalistic german design language with the influence of the Spanish design and lifestyle.
We make all products with premium materials, mostly from local suppliers from Barcelona.
Your products ship directly from our workshop to you.
OUR STORY
WELCOME TO MADRE
BEST MATERIALS
We only use the best materials we can find to match our requirements. The leather selection we are using:
- Highest graded
- Vegetable-tanned leather
- Full-grain leather
- Made entirely locally in Spain
- Vachetta | Calf | Novillo | Cow leather
Wherever possible, we use solid brass applications for our products.
SUSTAINABLE
We try to implement sustainable practices in all of our operations:
- Local production
- Sourcing from the best local suppliers
- Materials with a minimal environmental impact
- The design doesn't follow fashion
- Products that age with pride
- Minimizing packaging
Keeping as much value in-house as possible enables us to perform the best sustainability practices.
DIRECTLY FROM THE WORKBENCH
We are exclusively selling directly from our workshop to you. This results in:
- Premium quality in materials and production
- Fair production
- At an affordable price
We are cutting out the many middlemen that all the big fashion chains are feeding. We don't outsource production in different countries to lower costs.
BUY LESS AND BETTER
Nobody needs a new fashion brand.
We need to find alternatives to restructure the way we do fashion.
