About Us
01 · The Origin
Bibiana Hernández was born in Cali, Colombia, in 2018 with one idea: to create bags that could be contemplated like a work of architecture.
The forms of Antoni Gaudí and the lines of Zaha Hadid shaped its first steps. Over time, inspiration found its place at home. Colombia became the main reference: its architecture, its landscapes and a heritage that stays alive in forms, textures and materials.
Today, each collection is an interpretation of that universe. A way of turning what surrounds us into pieces you can carry.
02 · The Founder
Bibiana learned to look before she learned to design. Trained in fashion design and specialized in product design, she worked in leather goods and little by little found her own way, creating her DNA.
Architecture is her starting point. She studies buildings and culture, walks through their forms and textures, and discovers in their details what will later become a silhouette, a texture or a piece of hardware.
Her process is intuitive. She does not follow the pace of trends, but gives shape to a personal vision, where every decision has a purpose and every piece finds its own character and timelessness.
03 · The Signature
A Bibiana Hernández piece is recognized by its form, even before its details are discovered.
Architectural volumes, organic curves and textures that create an identity of their own. The leather interlaces and transforms with movement.
The hardware, handcrafted in bronze and finished in 24-karat gold, is conceived as jewelry. It is not an accessory but an essential part of the design. The union of leatherwork and jewelry, of structure and movement, defines the language of the brand.
04 · The Artisans
We work alongside master artisans with years of experience. With them, every idea goes through a process of exploration, testing and precision until it finds its final form.
Yurani, Roberto, Alirio and Marleny give each piece an unrepeatable perspective. From shaping the leather to the last stitch, their work turns the result into something extraordinary.
For us, it is not just a technique. It is a way of creating with intention, of honoring the knowledge of those who make each design possible, and of preserving a craft that deserves to endure.
Yurani grew up in a workshop. Her parents and sisters also work with their hands. She studied, tried other paths and always came back to leather. Today she oversees the entire leatherworking process, attentive to every detail.
What she would never want to lose from her craft is “the wonderful power we have in our hands for every small detail”.
Roberto has been working leather for more than sixty years. He came to the workshop on a friend's recommendation and never left. His specialty is modeling, the moment the leather takes shape. He knows a piece is right when he is satisfied. Not before. He reads a lot and exercises.
He describes himself in two words: “An upright person”.
Alirio runs the workshop and has spent forty years bringing leather to life. He says it is a noble material, that it has something few have, and that you have to know how to speak to it. When he is not working, he is with his family.
Marleny started sewing out of necessity, when her husband decided to go independent. Twenty-five years later she puts it this way: “This art chose me”. What she enjoys most is sewing an entire piece in a single color, where there is no way to hide a mistake. At home, she bakes cakes.
05 · Materials
We work with Colombian cowhide leather, chosen for its nobility, its character and the beauty it gains over time.
Every cut follows the natural grain of the hide. The pieces are sewn stitch by stitch and their edges are finished by hand, in a process that demands precision and attention to detail.
The metals receive the same care: the bronze is shaped and polished before its final finish. In our shoes, every element is crafted with the same dedication, including the heel on the models that have one.
We produce in limited quantities and use every part of the material, creating small objects that extend the life of each creation.
We believe in honest materials and in the value of doing things well.
06 · Our Philosophy
That is why our pieces are developed without haste, in limited series or made to order. Each one receives the time it needs, from the first sketch to the last detail.
We design for women who find beauty in the timeless, who value what endures and who understand that an object can be much more than what it was created for.
We do not want a piece to belong to a season, but to find a place in the personal story of the woman who carries it.
Because some objects are simply used, and others, over time, become part of us.
