La Mansa redefines the concept of craftsmanship by placing it at the base of its manufacturing. All our products are special pieces handmade by artisans from small communities in more than 10 countries around the world who are part of our family. In addition, we have our own factory in Ubrique, in the land of the best artisanal leather in Spain.
The production process is characterized by the use of natural fibers and organic textiles using traditional techniques rooted in the culture of each community. In this way, artisanal manufacturing adds a special touch to each piece that results in an exclusive product with great human value.
How this adventure began...
“It all arose more than 15 years ago when visiting a livestock fair in Palermo (Argentina). Suddenly, a rawhide craftsman with colorful belts crossed my path. I liked them and decided to buy one, which I still have to this day. When I returned to Seville, no one knew about what are now called “Argentine belts”, so I decided to return to Argentina to buy more belts and start a business as a personal hobby. That first trip gave birth to a hundred trips around the world, in which each place offers me thousands of ideas, I discover new cultures and meet endearing people. Suppliers of ideas, raw materials, adventure companions, becoming friends today. I consider them a fundamental piece of this project, without them it would be impossible. They open their homes and their hearts to me, they tell me their problems and I help them to the best of my ability.”

OUR PHILOSOPHY
La Mansa products denote an adventurous and daring spirit, which together form different ways of seeing the world, which are connected by a line like the Andes mountain range that runs through Latin America, where some of our ideas come from as well as our roots.
La Mansa is a family business with international ties that has managed to bring a vision to the company that has no borders and goes beyond. From Eduardo's beginnings to his daughters' adventures, the family has fostered the desire to get out of their comfort zone and live experiences away from home. Meeting other people and different cultures opens the mind and soul, leading to the creation of a hobby into a sustainable business model.
Mixing gives you more. Not just in fashion. The mix of cultures and diversity make the planet a better, richer and more attractive place. Mixing is knowing. At La Mansa we believe that this can be applied to all aspects of life. That is where our inspiration lies.
