BARCELONA | From an atelier in Barcelona's old district, three young and creative designers are putting their talent together to develop the coveted handbags brand BET BARCELONA. Their unique brand concept recreates traditional leather goods into delicate handcrafted pieces with an outstanding and original mix of colors and materials coupled with unexpected shapes and ingenious decorations. Mariona Tell, Mónika Ardila and Sara Galofre are the imaginative designers behind BET BARCELONA. With a diverse academic background in Fashion, Graphic Design and Art Design, the three of them get involved in every single step of the process, from concept design to the finished craftsmanship work. Their approach to handbag design is rich, imaginative and even baroque, with a smart twist of effortless sensuality and fantasy. There is constant experimentation behind BET BARCELONA. The designers work with the best leathers, which they combine with noteworthy materials and ornaments such leather flowers, paintings and embroidery. Using traditional skills and depurated techniques they produce gorgeous yet functional handbags, with a sophisticated finishing, high quality standards and innovation. BET BARCELONA is conceptualized as an artistic project away from the industry’s trends. In April 2014 they launched their very first collection OPHELIA, inspired by the beauty of the Pre-Raphaelite painting by John Everett Millais. The integration of naturalistic elements, the use of bright colors and other symbolic details adorn bags in geometric shapes and forms. The key in this collection is the octagonal and exchangeable piece that is attached to every purse; and which allows to transform it into a different handbag according to the mood or the desired look of the moment. The 2015 collection HADAL is inspired in the deep oceanic trenches. This collection comes in patent leather, glitter and shiny surfaces. Whereas the exchangeable canvas is decorated with embroidered pieces, collage of illustrations and resin details as a symbol of a hidden magic world. BET BARCELONA creations result in timeless unique handbags coveted amongst women that love exclusive style and unconventional glamour. Likewise, a selection of scarves and key holders are the best way to complement your choice of a BET BARCELONA bag. Despite being a very young brand, BET BARCELONA is already coveted and stocked by trendy retailers not only in Barcelona but also Paris, Japan, South Korea and Mexico DF.
