The bag was lovingly handmade by the mother-daughter duo Sea & Horse. Charo and Brenda are Galician artisans/designers/women of many talents that are keeping traditional techniques alive. To be able to collaborate with them on these special pieces again is such a privilege and pleasure.

San Isidro is Madrid´s city saint and the city bursts into a week long party every Spring to celebrate. Everyone, young and old dress up in Madrid´s traditional dress and hit the streets dancing Chotis (traditional dances from Madrid). The city is a sea of women wearing the red Carantions in their hair. Traditionally how you placed and how many you placed on your head indicated if you were single, engaged, married or widowed… a flower language!
