SPRING - SUMMER 2012
HISTORY The lively maritime district of Barcelona was once a barrier island called Maians, which over the centuries became a peninsula: the Barceloneta. Artists, fishermen, travellers, bar flies and local merchants have built a community here that combines a laid-back Mediterranean beach culture with the cosmopolitan style of one of Europe’s most dynamic cities. From this colourful setting comes Maians, a thoroughly unique line of plimsoll that fulfills the Spanish requisite of casual yet chic.
4
THE FACTORY Our local “zapatilleros” marshal generations of skill and know-how to handcraft our products. Created by one of Barcelona´s most consummate designers, Alfonso de la Fuente Rey, each pair of Maians is handmade locally using regional material and vulcanised rubber: a painstaking process that results in a unique brand of footwear that is dashing, durable, and incomparably comfortable.
5
SPRING - SUMMER 2012
Every pair is carefully hand sewn by our experienced “zapatilleros”. Special care is taken with every detail of the manufacturing process.
6
We build on the tradition of Spanish vulcanised shoemaking. The style names commemorate those individuals who have been part of this tradition over the generations; Tirso, Amador, Eugenio, Pepa. All characters a part of the Maians history.

Detailed craftsmanship meets urban street style: this is the Maians formula, and it’s what characterises each deftly assembled pair of our unabashedly good-looking shoes. The ingredients from which Maians are produced are all sourced regionally and include cottons, linens, suede and leathers. PATTERNED BRAIDED SOLE
Our rubber soles are also environmentally friendly and have a unique fruity scent. We believe that the details are the backbone of a finely finished product and this can be seen in each of our collections. METAL EYELETS

SPRING - SUMMER 2012
INSPIRATION Our Spring/Summer 2012 collection draws on the inspiration of the classic Spanish tapas cuisine. The colours of paprika, saffron, turmeric, artichokes, olives, garlic, jamon and gambas are evoked throughout the collection. We have also drawn inspiration from the bars that over time have encapsulated the genuine character of this barrio, the Barceloneta. We believe that the taste and unique character of these establishments together with Maians offers an appetising mix of taste and fashion.
10
INBOX MARKETING For Spring / Summer 2012 we will include with every pair of Maians “El Camino de las Tapas”, a tapas tour leaflet introducing you to some of the most emblematic tapas bars of the Barceloneta. This communicates to our clients the essence of this collection and the culture from which it has drawn it’s inspiration.
