We try to be the most faithful as possible to tradition. We innovate, but our creativity is bound to history and everything that was created previously, especially in the 19th century, the heyday of cavalry harnesses – 'enganche' in Spain – and the carriage world in Europe. So we privilege the past.

I don't think we are in danger. People will always seek great quality personal accessories, pieces that will last. And collectors look for special historic pieces. Craftsmanship grows in a world where everything is globalised, because we need this connection with quality.

Every piece conveys a feeling, the craftsman’s soul. I adore leather: its smell, its touch. It's a natural material, and it is meant to be worn down, used by time and life. It always carries a story. I think leather is in our genes, in our history as human beings.

The most important thing is to be passionate and to enjoy what you do deeply. And it is also important not to forget that the objects you are crafting will share people’s lives, so you have an important connection with time and human beings.
