Sisters Sol Caramilloni Iriarte and Carolina Lopez Gordillo Iriarte from Argentina established the Iriarte Iriarte line of leather bags in 2009. When a quaint storefront became available at Carrer de l’Esquirol No.1, the sisters converted it into a showroom and studio. These bags are meticulously designed and handcrafted in Barcelona, where traditional craftsmanship meets natural materials. They draw inspiration from Barcelona’s vibrant and dynamic atmosphere, characterized by the constant flow of people. The city, rich in history, also possesses a cinematic quality from the tales and eras of the past. By reviving traditional techniques, the leather is hand-dyed using less harmful tanning methods derived from plants and natural materials. The sisters explain that time is a commodity that can be both cherished and preserved, resulting in bags and accessories that are modern adaptations of classic styles.
