Stores in Bizkaia Gernika's artisan who triumphs with her (mini) bags to wear gel or mobile
His first bag did it when he was nine years old, but he still keeps.It was a miniature design, in cowboy fabric, perfect for hanging from the shoulder of the only client she had at that time: her Nancy doll.«I only bought him a dress, the rest was made, with his gums, his close...», Recalls Isabel López Zarraga.Daughter and granddaughter of two women who love the sewing, her childhood passed to the beat of the swallowing of her sewing machines."Since childhood I have seen threads and retales at home, maybe that's why I am passionate about this world," says this entrepreneur Gernikarra.
His second bag did it long later, just seven years ago.It was a design in Polypiel, which made the fabric of another ancient reusing and to which he added the detail that characterizes his unique pieces: the closure of the metal nozzle that reminds us of our grandmothers so much."I had a bag that I liked very much, but I spoiled me and I wanted to give it a new life," he recalls.What this creator did not imagine is that that design, who devised for herself, would fascinate her friends."The nearby people asked me to do bags to give them away, they pushed me to take it more seriously, to learn on my own and to get excited little by little," he says.
With enthusiasm and eagerness, his complement signature, Lucky Dog, was born, who called his dog, a small black and white mousetop to which he feels very close."The name arose as a joke with my children, I don't know if it is very commercial, but those who carry my bags tell me not to change it".During the confinement, this entrepreneur had a break, because to create he needs to have "the clear mind", but in his comings and goings to the supermarket he found the formula to have the hydroalcoholic gel always by hand: the bag-collar.«I used to take it in a larger bag and had to search a lot until it found it.I thought I had to create something to be more comfortable, ”he says.

From his own need, Isabel managed.A trend that great firms such as Jacquemus, Fendi or Chanel have already joined before, which also bet on throwing tiny models."Now I am making a little larger versions, to be able to wear the mobile and the keys, because today, that we leave more for a walk, many women do not want to wear bag and bothers them to have half a phone out in their pants pocket,"Isabel says.

Unique Bags with Date of Birth
His care for the detail and many hours of work make all his bags unique.They are handmade one by one in their workshop, where it is impossible to find two equal models.Use fabrics such as wool with tartan print or velvet, but most are skin."I really like playing with my skin, I can throw myself hours by modeling it with my hands," says this creator, who also performs slopes and leather brooches.Committed to the environment, use retales of fight companies that have not been used and are in perfect condition.
This entrepreneur uses retales in perfect condition that come from the fighting industry.
His studies in Fine Arts have served as a guide to work "composition, volumes and color", but his learning has been self -taught."I have learned based on reading a lot, of informing me, of test-error, I have been knowing the skin".Their creations can be bought by previous appointment in their workshop, located in Ibarra Kalea 13 of Gernika;through direct message on the Instagram account of him or in the 8360 gallery store, on Bilbao street Fernández del Campo 23.Its small bags to carry hanging from the neck cost 85 euros and the rest of the models range between 250 and 350.

Unique designs for those who worship the nozzle bag."They are appreciated by those who value crafts, beyond the name and trends, because I do not follow fashions, I do what I like and I am born".Isabel puts so much passion and soul in each creation, that all the bags she has done, from the one that was made for her in 2014, have a date of birth.«When I finished them, I photograph them and point the date in my files.I have been brewing with my hands from beginning to end, with many hours, so they end up becoming intimate, it is as if a connection with the person who carries them is created, ”he says.Therefore, Isabel has begun to record in the skin of the bags itself the date of birth of each.Because he feels that with each piece he sells, he also delivers a part of herself, from her own essence, of that passion she inherited from her mother and grandmother.Because every day in the workshop of this creator, who worked before as a teacher or administrative, something new is born.
