The first bag that Lucía Baquero sold was a doctor from the Cruces Hospital.While her father recovered from a stroke, she accompanied him at the foot of his bed making crochet.A hobby that is a 31 -year -old graduate discovered three months earlier, when the telecommunications company closed in which she worked and stopped unemployed."I was missing a hobby to take my time, so I started seeing YouTube tutorials and I learned the technique," he recalls.
These two hard blows led her to discover her passion for crochet, which first became her therapy and then also a philosophy of life.Stitch stitch spent faster those long hours in the hospital and the distressing wait until another job became more bearable.The greatest impulse was given by the nurses who attended their father at Cruces and Gorliz, who threw praise every time they saw her knit a bag.«They all told me they were wonderful.Imagine what joy when I sold the first, I couldn't believe that I was earning money with something I loved to do and on unemployment."In its networks you can see the great range of colors and shapes that it is capable of weaving, as well as the beach of San Vicente de la Barquera from where it is inspired.
Inspiration came when a month after making crochet, he saw a girl on the beach with a crochet bag «wonderful and super colorful."Then, he began to investigate the brand online and discovered that, to his surprise, that model was made by a Colombian tribe known as the Wayúu.Transmitted from mothers to daughters for many generations, the crochet is for women of this indigenous community an art in which their feelings and desires express.Lucia was in favor of these bags of geometric shapes and bright colors for which 'celebrities' and firms from all over the world, so at first she overturned her energies in tracing them.
"I went crazy watching tutorials and they didn't come out," confesses this young woman from Leioa.Hence, finally decided to unleash their creativity and devise their own designs.In addition, he added small details, such as an inner lining and a chain handle, which personally loves her.

Although personalizing the designs to the taste of each client, which choose the Greezes and colors, more and more are those that opt for models that already have facts.«It makes me very excited when they trust my work and they like my designs, I also try that everyone will be unique and different from each other."
