Spain’s leatherware brands are thriving thanks to a focus on traditional craftsmanship combined with imaginative design, as Rebecca Rhys-Evans discovers

hen visiting Barcelona, take a break from tapas and Gaudí to discover the array of exceptional accessories on offer. The production of leather goods is one of Spain’s most important industries and comes with an impressive cultural heritage that is well worth exploring. From high-end luxury labels to family companies still using century-old machinery, Spain’s leather-goods specialists continue to win fans around the world thanks to their focus on craftsmanship as well as trends. When you think of Spanish luxury fashion, Loewe is one name that immediately springs to mind. Since British designer Jonathan Anderson became the brand’s 67
64 70
creative director in late 2013, it has been at the forefront of accessories design. The reimagining of the historic label under Anderson has brought about a real surge in Loewe’s popularity, putting it firmly back on the global fashion map. ‘When I go to London, I think Burberry. When people come to Spain, they should think Loewe,’ Anderson told WWD in 2016. Despite its impressive international presence, Loewe is committed to its roots. More than 170 years after its launch in Madrid, the house remains based in the Spanish capital, where its collections are designed and handmade in its main workshop. Thanks to a series of short films released in recent seasons by Previous: Iriarte Iriarte’s latest campaign Above (clockwise from left): Loewe’s creative director Jonathan Anderson; the brand’s Elephant and Puzzle bags

the brand, as well as a limitededition book entitled Masters of Leather, it’s easy to appreciate the meticulous attention to detail involved in creating each Loewe piece. From hand-stitching each compartment to the 250-step process that requires four separate leather workers using over 40 tools to create the famous Amazona bag, craftsmanship is at the very core of Loewe’s values. The Amazona was Loewe’s first bag designed to be used both in the daytime and in the evening, and combined practicality and exquisite design. Its release in 1975 coincided with an era of increased liberalism in Spain, and the label wanted to create an accessory whose soft leather, elegant design and useful size celebrated
the growing independence of the country’s women. From modern renditions of the Amazona and Flamenco bags to new models such as those from the Puzzle and Elephant collections, Anderson’s vision for Loewe shows Spanish leather design is anything but dull. As well as maintaining traditions, Loewe also strives for innovation. For spring/summer 2018 the brand has used a technique called needle punching for its latest hero accessory, the Missy bag. In this process, fibres are mechanically entangled to produce a non-woven material by repeated penetration of barbed needles through a preformed wool web, resulting in the seamless bonding of two different materials.

Spain’s leathergoods makers continue to win fans all around the world

Spanish leather craft goes further than bags, however. One of the world’s most renowned shoe designers, Manolo Blahnik, was born in the Canary Islands to a Spanish mother and Czech father. His flamboyant designs possess a distinct boldness reminiscent of the Spanish landscape and lifestyle. A craftsman to the core of his being, Blahnik is famous for continuing to create and perfect each shoe model with his own hands. Even after more than 50 years of producing footwear, he still makes coveted pieces that inspire confidence. ‘Shoes,’ he says on the brand’s website, ‘help transform a woman.’ Family-run footwear and
accessories brand Cartujano uses machinery that is more than a century old with the aim of preserving the traditions of Spanish leather craft. In pursuit of ‘quality, craftsmanship and timeless beauty’, Cartujano’s skilled cortadors (specialist leather cutters) work with only the finest hides from European tanneries. The founding Fluxá family has been using its Goodyear welting machines, originally imported from England, to produce shoes and accessories for four generations and 139 years. Today the company stands for high-end contemporary fashion, with stores in Madrid, London and Berlin.

But the leather goods business in Spain isn’t just about those brands with a long history. Barcelona-based Iriarte Iriarte is a contemporary independent store that produces an annual collection of women’s bags that are all made by hand from natural leathers, and its story began as recently as 2009. Founder and owner Carolina Iriarte explains: ‘Craft and the process of production are more than important – they are our essence. Our bags are created one by one in the studio, so each is slightly different, and is then hand-dyed and treated with Above: Iriarte Iriarte craftsmanship
vegetable oil and finished with original hardware fittings. The edges are then painted and burnt to ensure the utmost quality and an appearance that will grow better with age.’ From Carolina Iriarte’s independent boutique workshop to Loewe’s new era under Jonathan Anderson, it’s clear that Spain’s unique combination of traditional values, vibrancy and artistry – famously exemplified in some of Barcelona’s most iconic buildings – is expressed to perfection by its leading leather-goods makers

TABLE TALK Set on the shores of the Mediterranean, Barcelona benefits from sun, sea, sand and a variety of excellent beachside restaurants, as Ruairidh Pritchard discovers
It is an unwritten rule that visitors to Barcelona in spring and summer must set foot on at least one of the city’s glorious golden beaches. Basking in the Mediterranean sun and benefitting from refreshing sea breezes, Barcelona’s beachside areas have become some of the most popular places to spend an evening, with plenty of bars and restaurants that become magnets for fun-seekers once the sun begins to go down. From venues boasting stunning sea views to gastronomic gems in unlikely settings, the city’s coastal dining venues are aesthetically diverse. What they have in common is fantastic food, delicious cocktails and an enviable position on one of the most picturesque sections of Spain’s coastline, making them perfect places to spend some quality time during a trip to Barcelona. globalblue.com
LA DELICIOSA A recent addition to Barcelona’s beachside scene, La Deliciosa has quickly become one of the most enjoyable places to spend an evening. Set on the sand of Platja de Sant Miquel in the district of Barceloneta, the restaurant has a bohemian vibe, with an eclectic mix of vintage and recycled furniture. The bar serves impeccably made cocktails such as frozen margaritas, mojitos and more, while the food menu is equally appetising, with a selection of salads, hamburgers and sharing platters, including Spanish specialities such as croquettes and patatas bravas.

BOO At first sight Boo looks more like a ferry run aground than one of Barcelona’s most exciting dining venues. The white boat-shaped building – safely on land – is the place to come for leisurely, indulgent champagne lunches under the Spanish sun. After sundown, the gourmet menu is the real focus. With a philosophy that the restaurant describes as ‘100%
Mediterranean’, the seafooddominated offerings include salmon supreme with spice, mango and spiced wild rice, baby octopus with razor-shell paella and allioli, and fresh fish soup, giving guests a sophisticated taste of the ocean. Boo, Espigó de Bac de Roda 1, Platja de la Nova Mar Bella, 08005 Barcelona, +34 93 225 0100, elboo.es
Given its location close to Platja del Bogatell, and a name that means ‘place of the fisherman’, it’s perhaps no surprise that Can Fisher has a menu focused on seafood. Popular choices include grilled sardines, salt-cod fritters and oysters, alongside locally sourced razor clams, mussels and crab – all carefully chosen from the local fish market by the chef. The standout is the seafood paella, made with rice and spices mixed with a variety of fresh seafood, making it the perfect dish to enjoy by the Mediterranean coast. globalblue.com

One local delicacy not to be missed during a trip to Barcelona is churros, light and crispy fried dough-pastries traditional to Spain. One of the best places to sample this deliciously sweet treat is Cumaxurros, in the city’s Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district. On the menu visitors will find churros with a twist: topped and filled with chocolate, strawberry sauce or pistachio, for instance, and all of them the perfect accompaniment to the café’s delicious hot chocolate. For those without a sweet tooth, savoury varieties include churros filled with Iberian ham and salmorejo, a cold tomato soup. Comaxurros, Carrer de Muntaner 562, 08022 Barcelona, +34 93 417 9405, comaxurros.com

32: PAST MASTERS
ВЕЛИКИЕ МАСТЕРА Ребекка Райз-Эванс рассказывает об испанских брендах кожаных аксессуаров, применяющих традиционное мастерство к современному дизайну Отвлекитесь ненадолго от тапас и шедевров Гауди: кожевенное дело – один из важнейших испанских промыслов с большой историей, и оно достойно пристального изучения во время путешествия в Барселону. Обработкой кожи занимаются и крупные бренды, и небольшие семейные компании. Их объединяет неизменно профессиональный подход и интерес к модным трендам, которые и завоевывают им поклонников по всему миру. Марка Loewe одной из первых приходит на ум в связи с испанской роскошной модой. В 2013 году креативным директором стал британский дизайнер Джонатан Андерсон, и с тех пор Loewe всегда в авангарде аксессуарного дизайна. Работа Андерсона вызвала взрыв популярности бренда и вернула его в мир моды: «Когда я еду в Лондон, я думаю в стиле Burberry. Когда люди отправляются в Испанию, они должны думать в стиле Loewe», – заявил он в интервью WWD в 2016 году. Верность корням – одна из ценностей компании. Она была основана более 170 лет назад в Мадриде и по-прежнему базируется там: именно в испанской столице раз-

мещаются мастерские, где разрабатываются и отшиваются коллекции. Кропотливая работа над каждой сумкой Loewe требует педантичного внимания к деталям. Чтобы показать клиентам процесс изнутри, в прошлом сезоне компания выпустила серию короткометражных фильмов, а также ограниченный тираж книги Masters of Leather («Мастера кожи»). Так, сумка Amazona – это результат производственного цикла из 250 шагов, которые выполняют четыре кожевника, используя при этом 40 различных инструментов. И конечно, все швы обрабатываются исключительно вручную. Все это свидетельствует о том, что высочайший уровень мастерства лежит в основе ценностей Loewe. Модель Amazona увидела свет в 1975 году, когда в Испании начался период либерализма. Бренд не хотел оставаться в стороне от социальных перемен: мягкая кожа, элегантный дизайн и практичные размеры этой сумки знаменовали новую независимость испанских женщин.
ее оформления используется техника ковровой вышивки: с помощью игл с крючками на сетку из шерсти наплетаются нити, что дает эффект декоративного гобелена. Испанское кожевенное дело славится не только сумками. Один из самых известных обувных дизайнеров в мире Маноло Бланик родился на Канарских островах: его мать была испанской, а отец – чехом. Яркая обувь Бланика всегда напоминает об испанских пейзажах и образе жизни. Он по-прежнему великий мастер-ремесленник, который лично, своими руками создает и совершенствует туфли. Уже более 50 лет его модели вселяют уверенность в своих обладательниц: «Туфли призваны преображать женщину», – такую позицию декларирует дизайнер. Семейный бренд обуви и аксессуаров Cartujano продолжает лучшие традиции испанского кожевенного дела. Уже 139 лет семья Флюкса, теперь и в четвертом поколении, работает на окантовочных станках Goodyear, некогда привезенных из
Когда я еду в Лондон, я думаю в стиле Burberry. Когда люди отправляются в Испанию, они должны думать в стиле Loewe Сейчас в предложении Loewe есть современные интерпретации классических сумок Amazona и Flamenco и новые модели Puzzle и Elephant. В понимании Андерсона испанский дизайн кожаных вещей может быть каким угодно, только не скучным. Но Loewe не ограничивается поддержанием традиций: бренд постоянно в поиске новых идей. Примером этому может послужить сумка Missy – акцент коллекции весна-лето 2018. Для Сверху вниз: туфли Makonde; босоножки Arpege Sharkbite, обе модели – Manolo Blahnik весна-лето 2018

Великобритании, для производства обуви и аксессуаров. Профессиональные cortadors (кожевенники) делают ставку на «качество, ремесло и незыблемую красоту» и сотрудничают только с лучшим сырьем от европейских дубилен. В наши дни Cartujano ориентируется на современную моду, а фирменные магазины бренда открыты в Мадриде, Лондоне и Берлине. Помимо брендов с большой историей, в Испании есть и молодые, но не менее интересные компании. Независимая марка Iriarte Iriarte появилась в Барселоне в 2009 году и ежегодно представляет в собственном магазине коллекцию женских сумок, сшитых вручную из натуральной кожи. Основательница и владелица Каролина Ириарте объясняет свое отношение к кожевенной традиции так: «Мастерство и производственный процесс не просто важны: без этого мы не мыслим своей работы. В студии мы создаем сумки вручную, одну за другой, поэтому двух идентичных просто не может быть. Затем они вручную окрашиваются и обрабатываются овощными маслами и оснащаются оригинальной фурнитурой. Для большего эффекта мы окрашиваем и обжигаем края, что помогает вещам стариться красиво». Испанское кожевенное дело может принимать разные формы – от независимого бутика Каролины Ириарте до нового этапа в истории Loewe под руководством Джонатана Андерсона. Неповторимое сочетание традиционных ценностей, актуальности и стиля воплощается не только в культовой архитектуре Барселоны, но и в коллекциях ведущих производителей кожаных аксессуаров. globalblue.ru

今もなお、履くと自信が湧く憧れのフッ トウェアを作り続ける。同ブランドのウェ ブサイトには「靴次第で女性は変わる」 とある。 家族経営のフットウェアと服飾品の ブランド、カルトゥハノではスペイン革手 工芸の伝統を保存しようと、一世紀以上 前からの機械を今も使用している。 「品 質、職人技、時代を超えた美しさ」を追 求するカルトゥハノの熟練コルタドール（ 革切り専門職人）は、ヨーロッパの皮な めし工房から仕入れた最高級の革しか 使わない。創業者のフルーシャ一族はイ ングランドから輸入したグッドイヤーウェ ルト式の機械を使い、靴と服飾品を四世 代、139年にわたって作り続けている。今 や現代的な高級ファッションの代名詞と なった同社はマドリードとロンドン、ベル リンに店舗を構える。 もっとも、スペインの革製品ビジネス はそうした老舗ブランドだけではない。 バルセロナを本拠とするイリアルテ・イ リアルテは現代的な独立系店舗で、全 て天然皮革を使って手作りした女性用バ ッグのコレクションを毎年製作している が、創業は2009年でまだ新しい。創業 者でオーナーのカロリーナ・イリアルテ はいう。 「手仕事と製作工程は重要なだ けでなく、当社の真髄です。バッグは一 つ一つスタジオで作りますので、それぞ れ微妙に違います。それを手染めして植 物油で処理し、オリジナルの金具を付け て仕上げます。それからコバ（革の端の 切断面）を着色し焼き締めて最高の品質 を実現し、年月の経過と共に味わいが増 すようにしているのです。」 伝統的な価値観と活気、芸術性を独 特のバランスで併せ持つスペイン。その 最たる例がバルセロナを代表するいくつ かの建物だが、カロリーナ・イリアルテ の独立系工房ブティックといいジョナサ ン・アンダーソンの下で新時代を迎えた ロエベといい、同国の有名革製品メーカ ーにもその特性が明らかに表れている。
