Miista: from London to La Coruña
Miista is a brand of shoes, clothing and accessories founded in London in 2010 by the Spaniard Laura Villaseninwith his brother Pablo. On the website, it is explained that Miista was born with the principle of “creating a luxury investment item that could be owned and used forever.” To control the entire process and preserve the artisanal tradition, they decided in 2020 to found their own factory in A Coruñaa region known for its textile production, where, in addition to the giant Inditex, many other small brands and designers are based, such as Bimba y Lola, Adolfo Domínguez or Roberto Verino.
Even though the brand maintains its creative center in London, it has decided to focus on Spanish craftsto create “truly desirable” objects. “We work to inspire young people, showing them the beauty of creating something from scratch with their own hands and the importance of learning from previous generations, a tradition we consider sacred,” he says on the website.
The brand, which has its own boutiques in London, Paris, Barcelona and New York, has dressed many celebrities like Madonnathe model Candice Swanepoel, the British singer Charli XCX and the actress Suki Waterhouse.
