I was invited into the secret town in Spain, where luxury houses love to make their leather goods.
Who would have known my bag cutting would get me here... and why is it that these houses don't like to talk about Ubrique?

The luxury brands abandoned the town in crisis so the only fair outcome is for them to create an independent industry comprised of their own brands without a middleman. With the support of those with a platform such like yourself, they can reach the quality minded consumers who would support them in droves. Let's make "Made in Ubrique Spain" as known and respected as the Made in Italy label. They deserve to receive credit for their expert craftsmanship.

When I was growing up in my country, there was a special town known for its leather goods including shoes, bags, and accessories. Everyone knew about it and everyone went there to buy quality workmanship, even the tourists. I left the country in the late 70s when the town was still booming but I never found out how or when it met its demise. The town is no longer known for its leather reputation and nobody made any leather products anymore. Yes, it's sad.

Im Spanish and this is not news to us. Ubrique has the best craftsmanship of leather. The reason is the whole town is working on this craft and skills are transferred from family members. Many big brands will make orders of the samples of the bags to Ubrique which are the most difficult to make and then send the sample bag to Asia to replicate. They are all small family factories, not big corporations and it is very secretive because they must sign non disclosure agreements with the brands. If every bag they made for big brands had the made in Ubrique or made in Spain seal, then buyers wouldnt be looking for made in france tags lol

This is partly why I only buy preowned luxury bags. I refuse to give these companies NEW (more) money. Vintage bags are of better quality. And these companies have really just gotten as rotten as any other major corporation. The other reasons why I buy vintage or preowned bags are for cost and the environment. I’m blessed to not have financial constraints but I refuse to pay bogus retail prices to help pay for someone’s rent or to bolster the false scarcity nonsense. As for the environment, fashion is one of the highest industrial polluters. I just can’t reconcile purchasing things that destroy the natural world. Preowned is premade. The damage done. I also only have two luxury bags now. I used to have 50+. I wish more people really thought about what is behind a bag.

I think the secret ingredient is community. When you have a critical mass of artisans together, they can learn from each other. They are competing but they also know the value of competing against each other but also together against the world. We saw the same thing in Silicon Valley, for example, for about 50 years. We saw the same thing with wine growing regions.

The artisans are the experts and it shows, no matter. I hope they have the opportunity to create and sell their own designs, named for them from within their own facilities and town. Reinventing this special town, school, and artists within it.❤

Ironically enough Loewe are now discontinuing the puzzle bag and replacing it with the edge, which is less intricate and seems like it’s easier to make/requires less craftsmanship… all that to say, enjoy the puzzles you’ve got 🙂

The (original) Puzzle bag is a great bag. I have three original ones bought years ago and they still look great. I had four Puzzles until last year, but sold the large one that was really better for males than females. I tried it our for some months, but it was too heavy with all of my stuff in it. So, I stuck with my one size small and two size mediums. Greetings from Los Angeles

Very cool! I just saved it as a spot to go. I found a few good leather goods makers in Florence while there in 2017. I bought a lot and I love it all still. Shoes that last year after year and bags made so well they are still like new years later. A logo does not mean quality, quality means quality. I've added this town to my to go list :). Thank you

@hermioneluv 9 ай бұрын

The big brands are known to hire bag making in Spain and Portugal, specialy in areas used to working with leather (shoe making regions, moastly). In many of this areas, pepople made the leather goods in their own homes...as a family. So, the younger ones learned from parents and grandparents, and together, everyone contributed for the house income... not a lot of money, but it helped. The brands still hire their goods from portugal and spain, nowadays, but today i believe everything is a bit more professional😅 still, the big brands and incorporating our tradicional culture in their fashion pieces, like Burel, Bilros lace, Viana embroidery and many more

I guess its related to maybe brands manufacturing new designs? They probably have top secret bags they haven’t released and dont want people to see before they arrive at their shop… it makes sense they dont want someone to see so that they end up getting copied and manufactured somewhere else to sell as fakes. I mean those bags are expensiveee imagine being able to get hold of a lv design thats not on the market yet.

Thank you very much for coming to Spain, my country, and for making this beautiful video of Ubrique. Also, thank you for recognizing these leather artisans. This business is the livelihood of many families in the area. In Spain, we are well aware of the quality of products from this region of Andalusia. It's a shame that it doesn't receive the international recognition it deserves. I hope that with this video, people will get to know the products they offer. There are several shoe and accessory brands that I buy in Spain that are made in Ubrique and are spectacular. One is Barada Bags, and the other is Gloria Ortiz. I mention both brands in case you want to review them. I also want to mention that shoes made in the Elche area (Alicante) are well-known, and they are also crafted by very skilled artisans. We look forward to welcoming you back to Spain soon; you know my home is your home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Loewe is discontinuing its iconic Puzzle bag and will start pushing the Puzzle Edge because the latter is less complex to make (therefore after faster crafting > faster it gets on the store shelves). Which is a really dumb move because Loewe literally has pages on their website telling us about their "commitment to the craft".
