Tote Denim "Camariñas"
335€
Sold out
Available only during the winter season, our denim tote is made in small quantities, never in excess and always with intention. A considered approach to production, guided by the time and care each piece requires.
Crafted from organic cotton canvas, the tote highlights the delicate handwork of the lacemakers of Camariñas, on Galicia’s Atlantic coast. Its linen label is framed in bobbin lace, made entirely by hand. Working over a lace pillow, the artisans carefully cross and twist threads around pins, gradually forming the intricate pattern.
Preserved and developed by generations of Galician women, this craft carries a rich heritage of skill and patience. Even in this small detail, the precision of their work gives the piece its distinctive character.
The softly gathered silhouette is finished with leather handles and drawstrings, a checked lining, multiple exterior pockets and an interior compartment to keep frequently used belongings close at hand. With room for a laptop and daily essentials, it is equally suited to travel, days at the gym and weekends away.

My name is Montserrat, I founded HEIMAT ATLANTICA in 2016 when I was living in Paris. HEIMAT is a German word that denotes the special bond a human being has with their origins. After living abroad for more than 15 years, I felt a deep need of communicating about my local identity and share this incredible crafts with the world.
HEIMAT ATLANTICA is not just about creating a label, it is a project related with BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR: from my point of view, fashion must have a social & cultural responsability. Thus, HEIMAT ATLANTICA was born with the aim to PROTECT AND VALORIZE the beautiful popular crafts from the Atlantic coast, Spain and Portugal, working in a direct and closest way with the artisans in order to create a REAL VALUE for them.

PURE LUCK, THE MAGIC OF OUR BAGS
THE BAG TO FIND LOVE
In 2016, I designed and made the bag for myself, it came up in a very intuitive way; I wanted a talisman to help me find TRUE LOVE and then people stopped me on the streets in Paris to ask where I had bought it.
The porcelain embellishments are lucky charms that serve different purposes: protection of happiness, material possessions, honor, love … In that sense whether you believe in Magic or not, these charms have a universal significance.
