In this\u00a0cozy space she handcrafts the beautiful hats that she later sells to her faithful clientele.\r\n\r\nGema personally designs, cuts and sews each and every item, with passion and technique. Every hat is carefully handcrafted.\u00a0 There is a perfect balance of elegance, seduction and impeccable finishing. She proudly shows me a very pretty hat in green silk: there are no visible stitches. \u00a0Like her grandfather Gema is a perfectionist and has great attention to detail. For instance, when creating her lovely veiled hats. She embroiders an almost imperceptible\u00a0traditional freckle in a way that resembles the veils that ladies used to wear to cover their faces.\r\n\r\n
