How did Ainhoa Maroquinerie come about?
Ainhoa was born in 2020, and it was the call to creativity that pushed me to create my brand. I wanted to design timeless models, choose the assemblies I wanted to make on the bags and, in particular, work with raw materials that were close to my heart.
Three words to define your style?
I would say: intergenerational, chic, and elegant.
A song that inspires you?
Currently, I really like Solann's song, Rome.
The essentials to have in a handbag according to you?
I would say my Monéta purse, which is an essential, a hand cream, and Tic Tacs.
How do your pieces represent your region?
My pieces represent the Basque Country through their raw materials. I work with leathers from the Espelette tannery, which are renowned worldwide.
The piece from your collection you recommend for a first purchase?
For a first purchase, I recommend the Festum model, a small bag that can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody.
