Unique pieces for women, men and children, made of silver and gold, some set with wood, ebony, porcelain or colourful stones. They are made to be worn, to adapt to your body, to be comfortable, well made and not trendy. - says the designer.

ABOUT LA LATINA

La Latina is located in the heart of old Madrid. It is a charming district with narrow streets and old buildings, famous for its outdoor flea market "El Rastro", where you can buy a great variety of products - both new and used. El Rastro takes place every Sunday from 9am to 3pm. Many bars in this area (especially along the Cava Baja Street) serve fantastic tapas.
