my first home-made sandals
THE OTHERPORTRAIT OF MARINA
I was born on a hot summer Wednesday in Barcelona, just before the holidays.
My parents are Spanish. I have been living in Paris for more than 16 years and I hardly have an accent anymore.
Even as a child, I used to build a lot of objects and let my creativity run wild. I remember the elation of playing with my first cardboard car. I studied fashion and, curious as I am, I researched and received training in many fields: leather goods, lingerie, millinery, silk painting...
But shoes are definitely my passion. As a teenager, I invested all my pocket money in buying shoes, each one crazier than the previous one.
During my studies, I soon realized that I liked creating them even more than wearing them!
