Welcome aka Bienvenida!
I´m Annabelle, an Australian Outback chica based in Madrid handmaking Slow Fashion accessories with Flamenco passion. Every piece is inspired by Spain, her people, traditions and unique rhythm. The majority is handmade by me or other talented Spanish and Italian artisans from materials that I source from small local family businesses.
If there is anything I can help you with, please drop me a line here.
From Spain with Love,

La Siciliana Collection
Until now, all of my collections have been inspired by my adopted home, Spain, but his time, I’m taking you across the turquoise seas of the Mediterranean to steamy Sicily, Italy. I had a deep urge to go to Sicily (season two of The White Lotus definitely added to that), so off I went last summer for some exploring and to visit a family in Catania who handmake stunning little ceramic adornments that beautifully capture Sicily. While I savoured the gelato their mum brought into the shop for me (which took me back to my Chai Tea in shops days in India), I knew I was onto something perfectly Sicilian, and La Siciliana Collection was officially in motion. I hope this collection tickles your Sicilian fancy or becomes a souvenir that perfectly captures your experience there.
The San Sebastian Collection
Nestled inbetween green rolling hills and pristine turquoise waters on the border of France is Spain´s shining jewel, San Sesbastian. I haven’t been able to stop myself from going back, she’s got everything! Little old Basque men in Berets, Parisian architecture, stunning turquoise beaches, surf, their very own Cristo on top of the old castle, the best cheesecake and steak in the world and Txakoli and Pinxtos.... the food oh the food, everything a foodie could ever want! The Basque or Euskadis (as called in their native language called Euskera) are fiercely proud of their land, language and culture - they even have their own font! I always feel so alive and inspired after a couple of days in San Seb, I hope this collection does the Euskadis proud.
de Madrid al Cielo Collection
Nearly all year round the sun shines in Madrid and everyone always talks about her particulary blue skies, making my adopted hometown one of Europe’s most liveable cities. I realised early on, that to see most of Madrid’s majestic beauty, you have to remember to look up. This collection is inspired by her white and gold ornate buildings against the electric blue sky. I learned a saying when I arrived from some fiercely proud local friends, de Madrid al cielo which means there is no other place in the world you would rather be other than heaven.
La Ibicenca Collection
This collection is inspired by Ibiza and her terracotta soil that drops off into sparkling turquoise Mediterranean seas, her pine forests where the cicadas sing, her sunsets and their people that give you goosebumps as the sun slips behind the sea while everyone applauds. There is something inexplicably magic about Ibiza as are the women that are from there, an Ibicenca is unapologetically herself and always dancing like no one is watching.
My commitment to stunning, slow, sustainable fashion…
