Please tell us how the brand began. How it all started, background.

We are 2 Spanish sisters. We were living in London when we started our brand.

We have always loved fashion. We loved going to Portobello market

in London every Saturday, and we thought it could be fun to have a stall there

to sell some leather belts designs. So we started selling

our designs at Portobello market. Few exclusive shops of the

area were interested in selling our belts in their shops, and that is how

everything started. This was an opportunity for us to do

what we really like.

As women, you'll relate to your customers more.

What image do you have in mind for those who wear Spanish and Sisters?

(maybe target of age?)

We don't think of a range of age or type of women when we create products.

We are just focused on creating a beautiful pieces, that will give a touch of

personality to your outfit.

How do you choose the pieces of materials for your line?

There are amazing statement pieces and I thought

they would look appropriate for so many occasions.

We are in love with the handmade products and there are fantastic artisans

around the world. They really know how to work metal, leather, crochet...etc.

We work really close with them, as we need to create our

pieces together. It is hard sometimes, but we think

this is the only way to get the statement pieces.

For first time wearer/starter, what would you recommend them to

look for in jewelry shopping?

I would recommend to choose timeless pieces and don't be afraid of

choosing strong or bright colors. I love stones and we play a lot with them

in our designs. The possibilities of statement pieces for transforming

basic outfits is huge.

Where can we find to shop your pieces?

We do sell in stores around England, Spain, France...

But we get many buyers from all over the world through

our online shop.

Can you give advice for dressing this spring/summer 2012?

I think summer is a good time to dress colorful,

to wear nice girly dresses, and swap black for white.
