On December 26, 2001 Carlota visited Cuba for the first time. Since then, following several trips over the years, she has
established an emotional connection with the country. Her perception, changing and evolving over time, is the starting point for a collection inspired by personal experiences, travel diaries, conversations with strangers and coffees with family friends.
Buena Vista Social Club, Olga Guillot or Bola de Nieve are some of the soundtracks to these memories, which alongside the photography of Alex Webb or René Burri are some of the pillars of the collection. The life of downtown Havana, the rawness of the Malecón, the street music, the sound of domino tiles in Plaza Vieja, El Vedado, the markets, the open doors, the ‘colectivo’, the chats between balconies, Carmita, Bárbara, Giordano are some of the fragments from this collection.

COLECTION PRINT ↓
Mediante la recogida de algas directamente del mar y la experimentación de procesos fotográficos y otros elementos en el estudio de la marca, se obtiene el print representativo de la colección Spring Summer 2023. En su búsqueda por crear piezas únicas y su apuesta por la sostenibilidad como uno de los ejes estratégicos de su filosofía, Carlota Barrera se inspira en la cianotipia para, a través de técnicas manuales, representar en algunas de las piezas un escáner del fondo del mar.
Diseñado por Carmen Millas.
