Taking inspiration from an island in Spain known as Mallorca, this brand is developed by Irene Peukes. Specifically in the region called ‘Pla’, she derives excellent artistic concepts through the deeply rooted crafts of that region.

Running on the ideology of ‘more hands, less machines’, Irene’s brand is genuinely conscious of creating handcrafted shoes and dresses.

This results in shoes that are created with immense attention to detail, in an ethical and sustainable fashion.
