Now, from her cozy ceramics studio in the Coruña neighborhood of Santa Margarita, she channels her creativity, her love for the Atlantic and her sensitivity, giving life to ceramic pieces full of expressiveness.

At Naguisa we are faithful to traditions. For a couple of years now, Christmas has also been synonymous with friendship and alliances, so we take advantage of these dates to bring the whole team together, create something that defines us and share it with you. This year, we wanted to go one step further and invite Pat and Albert from Srta. Bolitas to participate in this initiative. A jewelry brand with which we share our beginnings, values, and also many of you.

For many of us, autumn in the city is a gift. It means a little relief from the stifling heat of summer, comfortable knitwear and a wonderful display of colours on the trees. But at the same time, it also heralds the dreaded arrival of winter, with its few hours of daylight, the need to carry around thousands of layers of clothing and sub-zero temperatures. That's why this is a season to enjoy and let go, in which to recharge your energy and take advantage of the opportunity to reconnect with nature.

Winter espadrilles are a perfect solution for the transitional season. With teleworking fully established in our lives, it is increasingly common for us to look for accessories that provide us with comfort and versatility for when we are both outside and inside the house. If you have been thinking of changing your 'sneakers' for something a little different, we have what you need!

If, like us, you always listen to a podcast while you work or cook, you'll surely have heard of Andrea Gumes. She's a cultural journalist and the person in charge of leading Ciberlocutorio and the daily cultural news programme, Tardeo on Radio Primavera Sound. In addition, thanks to her hyperactivity, Anna gives us weekly advice through the horoscopes she writes for Vogue. Today we talked at length with Andrea about culture, astrology and stress.

Socks deserve to be seen! They are not only a functional necessity to keep our feet warm. In recent years, socks have often become the protagonists of our looks. This season, we want to pay tribute to this practical garment with a tutorial to dye your own socks at home and naturally. Are you in?

We always say that, for Nagusia, the Basque Country is special, and that is because it is home to people like Lorena Mendikute and her Muma store. Since Lorena opened the doors of Muma in the small town of Éibar in 2006, she has been faithful to her principles, betting on local brands with values ​​such as top-quality materials or local production. Today, Lorena opens the doors of Muma for us, a store that has trusted Naguisa since 2017, to tell us more about her wonderful project.

Following the votes of the professional jury and the popular jury, the winning project was named 'BENITA'. Thank you to all of you who participated, either with a proposal or through popular vote.

Autumn is here and with it, the chill that heralds the end of the espadrille season. Every year we take longer to get down to work with changing our wardrobe, but with this changing climate that could happen tomorrow, here we are ahead of the game and give you a few tips for storing your Naguisa. Take note! The leather used on espadrilles is usually soft so that they are comfortable to wear and do not rub against your feet when you walk. This same attribute means that when storing them, if we are not careful, the leather can take on a bad shape from one year to the next.

While most of the attention is usually placed on the dress, for a bride, the shoes are also important. On that special day, you want to dance, jump and stand for hours on end without anything stopping you. Some of you, in your search for a beautiful shoe that will allow you to comfortably enjoy that big day, end up trusting Naguisa's braided espadrilles and sandals. For us, there is no greater compliment than the fact that you choose us to share that precious day.

The end of summer, and with it the sporadic days between seasons, are divided between people who miss having an iced coffee and those who long to wear a jersey again. This duality, also present within the Naguisa team itself, led us to think about developing a timeless shoe, a basic sneaker that could be used during all seasons and anywhere. This is BAMBA, an all-terrain sports shoe.

Looking back, I can remember that since I was little, I have always been very curious about the unusual and the distant. I remember looking through my father's heavy binoculars during summer nights. In the city, I could often see a few stars shining a little brighter on clear nights, but when the holidays came and we fled to the mountains, the dark sky would gift us with nights of many Perseids, several comets and some distant planets.

BOREAL draws us to the top of the mountain to find that elusive magical glow. An energetic connection between the earth, those moving solar particles and the occasional evening star that, like Georgia O'Keeffe, fills us with vigor and emotion and paints a picture of an energetic woman in constant discovery. A defender of the local, close to her roots and with the courage to walk unstoppable towards any horizon.

Our relationship with Ana began in 2018 when she opened her store La Modernista in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. She embodies what it means to run a sustainable business, inspired by designs from ethical and timeless brands, letting her values, passion for the Mediterranean and tenacity be the ones to captain the ship. Ana was kind enough to let us into her store and share with us a little about her beginnings and the concerns that led her to open the doors of La Modernista.

If you live in Barcelona, ​​you've probably had the chance to try one of Jana Zumbaum's creations. With her project Más Meriendas, Jana supplies sweet treats to specialty coffee shops throughout the city. Her cookies, cakes and granola bars have become the inseparable companions of a good coffee. She also prepares cakes for parties and celebrations, delicious and beautiful and decorated with edible flowers and lots of love. Today we wanted to share Jana's project with you and introduce you to the woman behind every sweet bite.

We always talk about Menorca as our second home. For us, the island is a place of development, calm and connection with nature. It is also a place full of childhood memories, love stories and moments that we will never forget. As fans of this beautiful island, we want to share with you some of the most special spots for us. Take note! Some recommendations include a little bit of the history of our founders.

Hat designer, mother, entrepreneur and culinary enthusiast, Bea Birdsong is many things, including the great woman behind the counter at Maxine, a beautiful shop in Lido Marina Village, Newport Beach. From her colorful store and with her magical looks, Bea takes us on a journey, through her Instagram account, to a dream world where every night there are parties full of celebrities and rock concerts. Today, she opens the door to Maxine and tells us more about her wonderful project.

This summer we celebrate the brand's tenth anniversary and, as the culmination of a series of events that we have been organizing throughout the season, on July 8 and 9, we decided to open the doors of our new studio-workshop and invite all our clients and friends to blow out candles with the team.

The espadrille has become the perfect shoe to wear every day, from May to October, thanks to its comfort and versatility. Its vulcanized jute soles are suitable for sand, asphalt and grass. Depending on their design, they are also suitable for going to work, riding a bike or getting ready for an event. There is no more versatile and all-terrain shoe!

Menorca is our second home. The place we chose a few years ago to open our first store is also a paradise for relaxation and enjoyment. Kilometers of beaches, idyllic sunsets and towns full of magical nooks and crannies inspire our collections and make us always want time to stand still.

One of our favourite discoveries last year was María Laspiur’s Instagram account. Between illustrations, beautiful photos and floral-inspired accessories, we fell in love with her project and didn’t hesitate to write to her to find out more about her and see how we could start a collaboration. From that “love at first sight” came Concha, Pez, Flotador and Ostra. A collection of charismatic accessories perfect for this summer.

Pressing flowers began in the West in the late 16th century, after trade opened up with Japan. There, Oshibana, the art of arranging flattened dried flowers into ornate compositions on paper, had been part of the culture for centuries. Over time, the technique made its way to the West, where people began making scrapbooks using botanicals they collected at home or on vacation.

Each of Naguisa's collections is inspired by strong and fearless women. The search for materials, heel heights and some of the details of each design are designed to win over those women who do not want to give up either style or comfort.

We have been following Nahia's work and her Hiruki store for years.

It is easy to share Nahia's passion for seeking beauty, attention to detail and the social character behind a well-designed product.

At Naguisa, we strive to create shoes that not only stand the test of time, but actually get better with it. That's why we advocate using top-quality natural materials such as 100% vegetable tanned leather, free of chromium and other toxic metals. Being a natural process, the final color of the leather may vary slightly in tone and darkness depending on the mix of materials used in the process. It's also nice to see the imperfections that are left exposed, such as organic marks acquired on the skin during the animal's life, such as scars or insect bites.

After a period of physical and mental changes, we have begun a journey towards well-being through time and self-care. In this search, in which to learn and rediscover ourselves, we met Daniela Aguirre and her project Wisdom of Qara, a natural cosmetics brand that combines the ancestral power of nature with meticulous formulas that restore vitality to our skin.

Just like your skin needs nourishment (and lots of water), your lips also need nutrients to stay healthy and beautiful. Their skin is thinner and, as it doesn't produce moisture, they need moisturizing agents to protect them and provide nutrients. UV rays from the sun and heat (as well as cold weather) can damage and dry them out.
